I’ve seen several methods for connecting lugs to 4awg and larger wire. What method/stuff do you use and why?
One method I’ve never tried is to lightly hold the wire in place with a vise while you slide the lug onto the exposed wire. Then go ahead and heat the lug up with a torch and add solder to it and let the solder fill the connection. Then quickly dip the end into cold water. Seems like a solid connection.
Another method I’ve seen is crimp the lug first in the vice and then solder and dip in cold water.
I think I’ll just use a hexagonal crimper and call it a day.
Just curious how you all do it?
