What is the proper technique for splicing two #14 wires to one #16 wire. Sorry for the newbie question. Thank you

Lots of ways work just fine. you can use a crimped
butt splice, although you'd have to use a yellow
splice and double up one of the wires.

You can do a soldered lap-joint covered
in heat shrink.

But I'm curious as to the mixture
of wire sizes. What power do these wires carry and
what is the circuit protection for those wires?

Thank you Bob -

The two wires come from a heated Garmin pitot tube system. Garmin twisted and soldered the two wires together at the factory. The Garmin G3X manual calls for 14 gauge wire for the length required (>21 feet). The manual also calls for a 20 amp fuse for power onto the control box. The max current draw is listed at 12 amps.
I measured the provided twisted and soldered wire to obtain a 12 gauge equivalent.
Where can I learn about a soldered lap joint with heat shrink
Than you again

Dick,
I wrote it up with photos in my blog post Physical & Electrical Considerations when Mounting Avionics. That post also includes a link to Bob's shop notes on "Poor Man's Solder Sleeves" which have all of the detailed instructions that you will need.
Also see my photos near the bottom of my blog post Wiring Harness Installed because there are some splices with 1 wire coming into the splice and 2 wires going out the other side.
Cheers,

Thanks and LOL. My cheat is that I am doing a blog instead of a formal builder's log.

Thanks Kirk. It’s been a PITA for both of us.
