I recall using in the past ? long time ago ? twist screw connectors that were good for both Aluminum to Aluminum and for copper to copper.
I was at two supply houses and they never hear of that and suggested using the purple ones (Ideal 65). I told them that those connectors cannot be use on Aluminum to Aluminum as the manufacturer suggested. I know I can use AlumiConn but those are expensive and looking at the instructions on the regular twist connectors packages they are only for copper to copper.
BUT I think I can use those regulars for AL to AL, I see them all the time in those situations.
Can I use them? Any suggestions?
