Will these work well for a 14 ga dishwasher cord going to the 16 ga dishwasher wiring? Or for holding both wires that may be 14 ga?

Yes, ensure you twist the 2 copper wires in a clock wise direction before applying. Then continue twisting wire and cap for 2-3 inches of twist. This ensures adequate connection.

An excellent wire connector for the most common 2 wire connections.

If you buy any wire connector go with Ideal brand for best results possible. This works both for stranded and solid electric 12, 14 gauge. I ordered these after being unable to find in local big box home improvement stores. Got these in a small little box which I transferred to a clear container so I can visually find it easily. Best thing of all is I got these so quickly when I needed them!
