I had to replace the fan on my downstairs heater. When I got the new motor it did not have a connector block so I had to hard wire it in. I currently wirenutted it and taped the nuts with electrical tape. However since there is a large amount of air flow through this area I do not want to leave it permanently like this. I unplug the unit when not is use. The connection is in the bottom part of the heater between the filter and the fan housing. Now for my question, should I put a J-box in this area and put the splice in the J-box? Or would wire connectors be better?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
