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. 🙂

I just bought a bunch of Malibu brand 2 and 3 way connectors to connect a large generator to my house, and will need to use this information to complete all my connections properly. 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.

[Unclejesse]

Can you use these for connecting copper and aluminum?

[hutle-]

Would you do the same thing for a box ground? I have to cut a ground that's going outside to the grounding post, to put a beam in, but want to reconnect them after I put the beam in.

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?

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

[flyingjeff]

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

Would this work for replacing my car battery terminals? Previous car owner shortened the cables. And I have to make sure if I splice something together to replace it that it won't obstruct the cold cranking amps when you start the car.

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.

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?

[MrTomncalif]

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

[georgepotter]

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 ?

[raulpacheco]

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

[dylane]

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!!!!

[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!

[Genesislights]

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

[dongemus]

Just FYI the title says "SPICE" not SPLICE
