Reef Octopus skimmer float switch quick disconnect?

[mrbacony]

It is a real pain to clean my lid in the sump area since I cannot take it to the sink without completely un-routing the float switch cable from the controller. Has anyone come up with a DIY disconnect? What about a simple spade or bullet connector? I am afarid to cut the wire to try it if it is too thin to handle the connectors.

I have a RO Regal skimmer with a float. I usually push the rubber bushing out of the lid. It's fairly flexible. Then I drop the float switch itself down into the skimmer and let the bubbles clean it off. Then take the cup and lid to the sink and clean as normal.

I will give that a try. Thanks.
