How do you install a zip plug?

Published in Electrical Wiring 1 min read

Installing a zip plug is a quick and easy process, typically used for applications like custom Christmas lights. Here's how to do it:

  1. Split the Zip Cord: Carefully split the end of your zip cord (also known as SPT wire) about a quarter of an inch. You can use a wire cutter or a sharp knife for this. Be careful not to cut the individual wires inside the insulation.

  2. Insert into the Plug: Firmly insert the split end of the zip cord into the side well of the male (or female, depending on the type of zip plug) plug. Ensure each wire of the zip cord goes into its respective slot in the plug.

That's it! The plug is now installed.
