I have used these with RG8 (bury-flex) and RG11 coax and even RG8X 
(with adapter).  

The biggest issue I have with them is that the Bury Flex's center conductor 
is too large to fit into the center conductor - so you have to trim off some
of the strands to make it fit.  This isn't a very "fun" thing to have to 
do.  

They would not approach the WX proof ability of the standard N connectors
with gaskets.  However, they sure are a lot easier to put together.
