A wire splice is the joining of two or more wires together. Commonly this is done with an approved wire joining nut. All slices are to be made in junction boxes to prevent fire should the wire splice become unserviceable.
A wire splice is a specific type of connection between two wires that does not involve soldering.

It is the same type as the western union splice, where the two wires are overlapping and wound back on the opposite conductor.
Try it see what happens... >:l Can you splice them? Yes. Should you splice them? No. It really all depends on what your over current protection is. If your #12 wire is on a 20 amp breaker, your #18 wire can melt and cause a fire without tripping the breaker. I do not know what is the amp rating of 18 gauge wire. -- Sparkfighter
Yes, but you have to do it correctly. You should use 10 AWG wire. The splice should be in an approved electric box using the right size wire nuts. You secure and protect the extended wire and you should not "bury" the splice box in the wall, but cover it with an approved cover made for the purpose. If it is a surface mount box, cover it with a blank metal cover.
No, code does not allow that.
One splice that would work is a western splice.
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.

Splice uses stranded wires while joint uses solid wire.
The electrical code states that any splice in a wire, the insulation over the splice has to be equal to or greater than the insulation on that of the rest of the wire. So what ever type of splice that you use make sure that you insulate it well.
The electrical splice and joint types are the Western Union splice, tap joint or splice, fixture joint or splice, and the rattail joint. The splices and joints are used to connect two pieces of wires to carry an electrical signal or current.

No. When you splice a ground it needs to be made by accepted means and the splice must be inspectable. Covering the splice with tape prevents inspection.
