I was doing some demo work, ripping out old work from some hack that was splicing about (10) #12's with blue wire nuts and it got me thinking...
What is the Maximum number of wires permitted to be spliced together in one connection?
For instance, I looked at the instructions for the blue wire nuts, the most it can handle is (6) #14 's.
Is there any other means of splicing that would allow more than (6) wires? (Any gauge)
Keep in mind, I'm not talking about some kind of terminal strip that has multiple connections, I'm talking about (1) connection for multiple wires.
