This is not really an NEC question, but there is no place to put an equipment question.
I have gotten to the point where I usually spec compression type lugs in lieu of mechanical conenctors. I just think they work more securely.
but stacking them has turned out to be an issue. there are mechancial connectors made to stack, but Panduit does not make any compression connectors that are made to stack as best I can tell. Our friendly Panduit saleslady suggested using a straight lug, then a washer, than a 45 lug if they needed to be stacked. that just does not seem like the greatest answer to me.
any better answers other than going to mechanical lugs?
