It's going to depend on how far you are needing to run your wires as the farther you run your wires you're going to get a power drop.
If you're planning on running the wires no more than 25' which is what I assume, then you'd to use at least 16 gauge wire and would need the 16-14 Gauge Butt Connector # 05731-5.
If you're looking to run the wire farther than 70', you'd need to beef your wire to at least 12 gauge and would then need # DW05745-5.
