  In this situation it was butt splices. We almost never solder anything. We just need the butt splices sealed in case of condensation or dirt.

    Ok, thought so. Another option is gel splice covers. They’re a plastic box with waterproof goo in them to cover the connection. This is just one example, but there are plenty. Wago sells some specifically for their splice connectors. There are also some where you mix your own goo, but I’ve never seen or used them.

      Of course! I’ve actually used those for marine connections before. For some reason I just forgot those existed. Thank you.

        Context is a fickle mistress like that. I have deffo overlooked options because the surroundings were different.
