Is there such a thing as a T crimp connector for 6 B&S cable? I haven't been able to find one - for any size cable.

I want to split from a single incoming cable to feed 2 outputs, all with the same size cable. I'd much prefer to use decent crimp connections rather than strip and solder.

Is soldering my only option? How do others make a secure and safe T joint?

Don't know mate never had the need, but I would speak to a battery supply place.

You could use Anderson plugs with larger size conectors where the two cables come into one plug

The usual method for 1 into 2 is to use a buss bar type interconnection
Especially in higher current applications

Lug and bolt them together and cover with self amalgamating tape, electrical tape and heatshrink

@ ET do those buss bars have covers to protect them from the elements ??

If I didn't want to bus bar or split off from a fuseblock lug this is probably how i would join 2 big cables
