Do you insert two romex wires in a belly button connector?

[Buck Parrish]

I have always put two romex wires in the belly button connectors that I get from the supply house. I just noticed on the bottle I got from Lowes it said one wire per hole.
Do you put two nm romex wires in yours?
Or have you had an inspector tell you that was not allowed?

If they are genuine Arlington NM94 two cables are permitted. If they are a knockoff you would need to follow the manufactures instructions.

That's what I thought. dang it

 

[Little Bill]

I do and never been questioned.

They also make a "splitter" version but as @curt swartz says, the standard NM94 works for 2 cables.

I hate those ones with the divider in the middle. What a pain in the

I do, all day long. There's never enough knock outs in a panel to accommodate all the circuits required today.

I once did three, neatly, but the inspector said only two.

I made them each two, then went home and checked: one.

I was cool with two after that.

The split one is CUL listed also that's why they changed the one box connector to it.

Only time I've done this is with 3/4 inch and one in connectors but I really try not to and there are a few oddball connectors that are listed for this number even up to 10 12-2 In an 1 1/4 but they're hard to track and I'd rather do something else to be compliant.

I'm sorry what?! Did I read that correctly? You're saying there is an 1.25" connector that is listed for (10) 12-2 NM in a single connector?! As in 30 conductors?

I like the ones with screws. I think its time to make the panels wider.
