What I like about these connectors is that you can take the wires out later if you need too.

[@SquirrelsForAll]

Yes Sir, those connectors are priceless. Great video, thanks for creating and sharing. 🙂

Let's go!!

[@frankdagreat598]

Thank you!!!!

I agree that butt splices are great. I've used them for at least 25 years. They're great when you can't use squeeze on connectors, but a lot more expensive.

@Karl with a K AWESOME!!!

[@TheSteveg2011]

Always use them myself

[@Elvisdrunk]

Thanx i feel empowered!!! Thank you

I have 6awg wire going to a hot tub that wasn't long enough by a previous person and they used twist connectors but I'm guessing this in the video are more appropriate for the amps that go thru it

[@lesterwatson8519]

Good Video !! Can Service Entrance wire be spliced with that type of connector or splice and does the splice have to be in a conduit body, and what effect does the connectors have on box fill?

[@Unclejesse139]

Can you use these for connecting copper and aluminum?

[@georgepotter353]

Is there such a thing as two wires in 4 wires out ? I want to split the 3awg wires coming out of my breaker and into my kiln so that I can run two kilns (never at the same time) off of the same breaker. So, I would need to split each of the 3 awg wires coming out of the breaker to go to each kiln. Or, do I just use two lugs ?

[@farrellnuszjr9216]

They didn’t have straight threw ones I got nimbus 2x4 what is proper use can I put one wire on one side the other on the other side or both wires straight threw butted up then set the set screw.

[@gabrielsansar6187]

where is the link to those connectors

[@dylane330]

Hey Coach - I know you have videos on this but I’m curious about your j-box size. 314.28(2)… are you landing in a 12x12? Guessing 1.5-2” pipe coming in from the bottom. Thanks!!!!

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Great question, I have 1x 1 in conduit And 1x inch 1 and a quarter conduit

[@JonathanLukemusic]

What about using these in a main panel ? Let’s say you’re changing out older 100 amp panel to a modern hundred amp panel, but the new panel would require lengthening the wire?

[@o0DJANIMATE0o]

are these service entrance rated ?

[@flyingjeff1956]

I tape the caps on. The fit seems hit or miss.

[@LongPham-cp4jr]

Is it use for mix between copper and aluminum wire connected together?

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Often they are listed to mix them together check your specific piece of equipment

[@DanScottChannel]

I was trimming some shrubs next to my house and accidentally cut the thick, solid ground wire that goes into the ground. Can I use this to splice it back together? Is that a 6 gauge wire? Thanks!

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Contact a qualified licensed electrician

[@JamesAllen-tj5nu]

@@ElectricalCodeCoach It is typically a #4 solid copper wire. It cannot be spliced this way. You need to use a C-Tap copper connector that is crimped and once crimped properly, cannot be undone.

[@MrTom38ncalif]

How about using high Def video. Looks foggy in this format

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Looks clear on our end, try rewatching the video with a solid internet connection

[@Genesislights]

So I tried to torque this sucker down while holding it. It’s not the easiest. Maybe I need my wheaties…

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Just FYI the title says "SPICE" not SPLICE
