According to the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council), it is an accepted practice to install multiple conductors in a single Hypress Connector or Butt Splice as long as the combined Circular Mils do not exceed the rated conductor size for the connector.

I THINK this would violate the UL Listing of the connectors/butt splice.

I need more than a yes or no answer. Can someone list the UL article that says this is OK or would violate the UL Listing, for the connectors?

It can be an accepted practice while not being in accordance with the instructions.

Kind of like it is an accepted practice with some people to wrap copper foil around fine stranded wire before putting the wire into a mechanical connector.
