electrical connection.

just need confirmation in what im going to do is proper. im hooking up a pressure switch for under tank lighting. unfortunately the box that holds the switch doesnt necessarily have enough room for the wires and marrettes(wire nuts). i want to solder the connections together , then use shrink plastic to protect the connection instead of electrical tape. any advice or negative aspects to what im doin is appreciated. in theory this should work just fine.

Soldering and heat shrink is the best way in a saltwater enviroment, wire nuts and tape is not going to last long so you are doing it the right way. Maybe a little dab of dielectric grease too.

 

could have not said it better...

 

If you know how to solder, then go for it. I like to double up on my heat shrink for anything involving my reef, but thats probably over doing things a bit.

i actually will be doubling up the wrap. ive got multiple sizes. it wil lbe well protected. and ive done quite a bit of soldering , so not a problem there either.
