Female Gilbert Plug SPT-1 Brown Shop Offer For Sale

How do professional installers get Christmas lights to fit so nicely? How do I finish my cords once they’ve been cut?

One class of products that make a Christmas light installation look truly professional is custom cut C7 and C9 Christmas light strings. Spools of 500 and 1000 foot C7 and C9 Christmas light cord are shipped without plugs so you’ll need a handful of these male plugs if you are working with green SPT-1 Christmas light cords.

Note, this SPT-1 plug is for 18 AWG wire only. See our brown male SPT-2 plugs if you are working with the cords made with this thicker installation.

Installation is easy and quick. Simply clip the end of the 18 gauge cord and lay it into the channel on the top of the plug. Holding with one hand use your other thumb to slide the door closed. This can take some effort since the teeth inside the plug have to pierce the insulation.
