The butt splices are the way to go with the plugmold. I would have turned the plugmold so the unit was facing down and use an end fitting for the wire to enter the plugmold

BTW- I hate working with that stuff. I will do almost anything to get out of it but we have a few jobs coming up where we will have to use it. My men are not happy about it.

FWIW the W30s can't be used on the EGC connection.

I have used this http://www.cesco.com/b2c/product/24...1_a_7c240112&gclid=CISr84bMx8ACFQQT7Aodr1gARw end feed.
Used 2 ports and roles the wire in. A pain but it worked .

That's the end piece I mentioned earlier but how does one make a splice in that and maintain 6". I guess it is no different then a track live end fitting.
If I use that I usually just loop thru that and use the connectors inside the plug mold.

FWIW- the reference to GFI in the OP's post should be GFCI. (there is a distinct difference)!
Not that I am the GFCI Police or anything and please do not take it as negative response.

Back in the ancient days, we just refered to them as GFI. To be politically correct now I try to call them GFCI. :lol:

I guess the idea may be that it is not possible to Interrupt the Ground Fault itself, just the Circuit that is feeding it.

I will probably call it GFI the rest of my life. Occasionally I will say GFCI-- old habits

Well...you are wrong sir...lol....sorry I could not resist. No I was referring to the OP calling it GFI when it should be referred to as GFCI. Where in 210.8 does it say GFI...

My first thought on reading just the thread title was that Gfi was the name of the manufacturer.
