Connector Help

[tyme2par4]

I'm in need of a connector that can splice 4 #10 and 1 #8 wire.
The application is for the slide power in my RV. From the factory it came with a BIG wire nut, but I've already had one of the wires work it's way out, and it's only been a couple months.
I could use a crimp sleeve, but that would make maintenance difficult.
Split bolt would also work, but I hate dealing with all the tape.
I think a Wago Lever Nut would be ideal, but I don't see any that go up to 8AWG.
Space is at a premium too, so the smaller the better.
thanks

Polaris? Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008KNX45M/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Find the number of ports you need and verify the gauge wire works.

I have used the large metro-pack connectors for #10 wires in automotive applications. The 630 sized connector is rated to 46 amps.

5-port Polaris connector

Personally I would use a power post and ring terminals to join them together.

You should never use automotive connectors for line voltage applications although the OP has not specified exactly what the function of the wire they are trying to connect is.

it is only 12V DC

he said in the OP that its for his slide power which would be 12VDC...

also you should fix the quote script at the end so its not messed up when people quote you

Am I reading this correctly that it is a couple of month old RV ? Why would you not call the manufacturer and tell them to fix it ??

Google Ilsco power distribution block (PDB). They make a million different configurations and styles. These would work if you have a place to mount the block and would be very clean and make maintenance a breeze. Could be pricey, depending on the model you select.

Look at a Burndy BIT4

Any wire nut that the wires can work their way out of was not installed correctly.
What kind of warranty do you have? Any modifications are likely to void the warranty.

The dealer is a 3 hour drive away. I'm not going to drive 6 hours for a $5 repair.
Plus they wouldn't be able to get me in for several weeks.
Changing a wire nut isn't going to void any warranty.

If you do it completely differently you can't guarantee that. Why don't you just make up the original wire nut correctly then? It would just involve 1 termination instead of 10+
