Re: Aluminum Wiring Question (CO/ALR devices)
|
Text of the message: |
If I was doing it, I would use wire-nuts, but I would use the procedure in the paper at http://www.inspect-ny.com/aluminum/alreduce.htm (This is a paper writen by a PhD Professional Engineer based on extensive testing of aluminum connections done for the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It includes a wide range of fixes for aluminum wiring based on that research.) In addition to a detailed procedure for connecting to CO/ALR devices, the paper has a detailed procedure for using wire-nuts with aluminum wire - including brand names. My impression is that wire-nuts, when installed in accordance with the procedure, are more reliable than CO/ALR devices (particularly in a wire-through configuration that has 2 connections to the device per wire splice). Ideal #65 wire-nuts, which are probably the only UL listed ones for aluminum wire, are definitely not recommended by the paper. bud-- Harry Muscle wrote: |
