dcspector said:With the new MCap and MCap HCF and the listed connectors just cut the #10al bond at the connector, no termination needed.

jetlag said:Even though it is not the EGC , Ive had inspectors to want it bonded to EGC
Jim W in Tampa said:#10 ? we on same page ? What i been seeing with 12-
? is at best #14 and fragile takes care to not just break it
peter d said:Wow....that is amazing. They obviously had no clue what the bond wire actually does.

peter d said:There is a newer MC cable from Southwire called "MC- All purpose" that does not contain a copper EGC, but rather an aluminum #10. It's listed as MC cable but installs like AC cable. The aluminum #10 is only a bond wire and you are supposed to cut it off, as the connector now provides the ground path (again, just like AC cable.)
I've never seen the stuff but it sounds pretty weird. I'd still like to try it out though.

Twoskinsoneman said:HA! This was a new guy trying to help out. Actually using yellow butt-splice crimps.
