Wire nuts are what we electricians use out in the field to connect one conductor to another. The problems we often run into are that sometimes we need to connect multiple conductors together, or that we need to connect LARGE conductors together. In these situations you will need to have some options of sizes to use.
Another reason for the diverse selection of wirenuts out there is the environmental factors they may be used in. Some wirenuts need to handle oxidation better than others as they're joining copper and aluminum conductors together. Others may need to repel/resist moisture as they're being buried directly in soil, and others still may need to resist extreme heat.
So let's dive into all of the different types out there currently.
GENERAL PURPOSE WIRENUTS:
1) SMALL GRAYS - (3) #22AWG - (2) #16AWG
low voltage, cat 5, security, doorbell/chime applications
2) SMALL BLUES - (3) #20AWG - (3) #16AWG
low voltage, cat 5, security, doorbell/chime applications
3) ORANGES - (1) #18AWG - (2) #14AWG
fixture wires, small residential conductors, speaker wires
4) YELLOWS - (2) #18AWG - (3) #12AWG
tight fit residential applications, multi-gang switch boxes, pancakes
5) WHITES - (2) #20AWG - (3) #10AWG
most residential applications (widest range of applications)
6) REDS - (2) #18AWG - (4) #12AWG
most used residential wirenut because of number of conductors in one wirenut
7) BIG BLUES - (3) #12AWG - [(1) #6AWG + (2) #8AWG]
used for multiple #12s in large quantity terminations such as multi-gang switches, also used in a lot of commercial applications to make joints on #6 and #8 AWG conductors
SPECIALTY WIRENUTS
8) CRIMP SLEEVES - varying sizes made
For insulated crimped terminations, often come in fixtures from manufacturer or automotive applications. - intended for permanent termination
9) GREENIES - (2) #14AWG - (4) #12AWG
"ground wirenuts" - Listed for use with equipment grounding conductors
10) PURPLES - coalr wirenuts
Listed for use with copper and aluminum terminations
11) BLACKS - high temp wirenuts
Listed for use at 302 degrees fehrenheit environments
12) LIGHT BLUES - moisture-resistant wirenuts
Listed for direct burial in earth
13) DUAL-RATED - multiple colors depending on mixed sizes
Brings two different size ranges together in one wirenut
There are, of course many different brands that will slightly differ in sizes, but for the most part they're all similar to the ideal options shown in this video. As with everything in the electrical trade, we are supposed to install materials that are listed for appropriate use. Make sure you're using the correct wirenuts for the application that you have in front of you.

2:15 just a quick correction; as a structured cable installer that specializes in data networks, I can tell you that you would never use wire caps on any network wiring. They can be used without issue for POTS lines but that's it. Anything above that will only use specialty jacks and punch down blocks or patch panels.

I was hoping that someone mentioned this. Network equipment can sometimes deal with runs that have been wire nutted, but wire nuts always degrade the quality of the run. At best, you'll have degraded speed. Wire nuts and other kinds of non-network connectors have a tendency to cause signal reflections and noise ingress.

Great overview on wire nuts. Just a couple of things to add. The "Greenies" take the place of an uninsulated crimp sleeve, the bane of my existence. Much easier to remove and little risk of damaging the bare grounds. After taking apart the crimp sleeve, these are great to bundle everything back. I can't understand how Ideal got the listing back for the Cu/Al purple wire nuts. No escaping that the two metals expand and contract at different rates as they heat up. This inevitably loosens them up, no matter how tightly the wires are spliced, resulting in poor contact, arcing, and burning. I've seen the new ones fail this way. Alumicons are a much better way to go, short of Copalum crimps, or getting rid of the aluminum wire altogether. Bonus fact. The Ideal version of the tan (white) wire nuts can be twisted on with a 5/16 nut driver. No special tools needed and less wear on the hand and wrist. Again, thanks for the informative video.

I wonder if they are using the spring style insert in the nut. This might be how they keep the wires tight even after the inevitable expanse contraction.

My parents' 50+ year old house has aluminum wiring, so I've had to make myself familiar with the purple nuts and anti-oxidant compounds. We've had problems over the years here and there with wire becoming lose on receptacles. The problem appears mostly with receptacles carrying a lot of current. I have never seen an aluminum rated switch or receptacle used in this house, and I believe that most of the switches and receptacles are original. When receptacles go bad, I use copper pigtails with anti-oxidant wire nuts. Back in the early 2000s, I was led astray with bad sources saying that it was fine to just connect copper and aluminum wires directly. Metal electric boxes saved this house from going up in flames. I had to go back and rework any areas where I goofed. Luckily, only one box had wires connected only by a spring. After changing splices to pigtails, I've checked back after a year to find the purple wire nuts to have fresh colors with no signs of overheating.

A little off topic from what the specs are for the wire nuts. But for most of these, if you remove the shank of your 11 in 1 screw driver. You can then use the handle to grasp the nut for a tighter twist. Comes in handy, especially when you’re weak like me due to tendinitis.

About 20 years ago, I took out a dusk-to-dawn yard light that was in poor condition. I abandoned the wires in the ground (UF), but to secure the end, I put direct-burial wirenuts on the ends, shoved those inside a plastic bag and taped it to the cable, shoved that through a slit in the lid of a coffee can, and buried the can (lid-down) right next to the sidewalk where I could find it again someday. That day was two weeks ago. The coffee can was dumb - it was still there, but rusted all to hell - and the bag was mostly intact but had allowed some moisture inside. The silicone inside the direct-burial wirenuts was still soft & sticky - it did not dry out at all in 20 years - and the wires inside were in perfect condition.

FYI: Most of the aluminum wiring thing was in the 70's. In houses built in the 50's, you might find knob and tube wiring but it was all copper. Aluminum wiring is perfectly safe so long as all connections are scoured shiny and treated with the de-oxidizing grease immediately. Be careful with that stuff because it gets everywhere if you're not careful. My Dad always called wire-nuts "marettes". It's kind of like calling self-adhesive bandages "Band-aids".

@colinstu
@colinstu 3 жыл бұрын
@@ElectricianU well ideally there are no splices with CAT5/6, always want a whole run between either a keystone plate or patch panel or terminated directly with an RJ45 connector. If a splice indeed has to be done, the smaller the splice and the fewer twists you take out of the wire - the better. Poor signal issues will force the network switch / device to autonegotiate to a slower speed - gigabit may negotiate down to 100M, a 100M connection may slow down to 10M or not work at all. They do make a number of ways of officially splicing them like with "junction boxes" "inline splice box" which are basically just very small punchdown blocks seen in a typical keystone plate or patch panel. But yeah, using anything like wirenuts, WAGOs, phone cable splice connectors, or 66/110 punchdown blocks with CAT5/CAT6 wiring for networking purposes - gonna have a bad time.

And it's not so much that these connectors lead to a poor mechanical signal, it's that these communications rely upon the twisted-pair nature of the wires to properly transmit the signal, if you remove twists, this signal becomes weaker or unstable.

High temperature wire nuts? I remember soldered connections. Solder, three wraps of rubber tape, and two of friction tape. I also remember when all wire nuts were “ High temperature”. I’ve seen many of these colorful thermoplastic wire nuts fail due to a poor connection causing the insulation to melt, but I’ve never seen that happen with a Bakelite molded wire nut. The Bakelite resin is thermosetting, and the better makers used ground mica for the filler, rather than wood flour. Of course porcelain wire nuts, which we also used, are impervious to any level of heat.

YES! Twister Pro Flex! Discovered them 2 yrs ago. Truly the best ever for a few reasons that you mentioned. Using them can be compared to an orgasmic experience.

Good stuff! Both my son (20 yo) and I are doing electrician trade school (yeah, I'm retired but not ready for the rocking chair). Anyway, our instructor recommends you channel for furthering our knowledge.

Dude I’m so good these days. It’s amazing what happens when everything in your life changes at once. Fresh start, new direction, everything is falling into place perfectly. I couldn’t ask for anything better right now. Well, maybe a Lambo...but I’m being patient 😂

Great job on this one...one comment regarding your comments associated with the smaller wire nuts. You mentioned cat5 and network cable several times, which could be misleading, in that networks (ethernet) is always in cable, connections, terminations, plugs, jacks, etc. that are specifically designed for that purpose and wire nuts are not used in this applications. Cat5/6 wire could be used in other non-network applications wherein wire nuts may be appropriate, although I have never found such a case. Thanks again for this one, I've made some notes for when I'm sifting through my own pile....

What’s wrong with wago lever-locks? When you are 50 you’ll twist 100 nuts one day and won’t be able to move your hand the next.

No electrician I've met talks shit about lever locks. It's the cheap push in connector that they hate.
