twist or not

[LarryFine]

I don't have a steadfast rule one way or the other. And in my opinion, wire nuts are not merely screw-on insulation.

That would be a sin

We can talk about backstabbing devices if you really want to see sacrilege :grin:

That's funny.......well to me, the more surface area that I can get in a connection, without distorting the conductors, the cooler and better connection I have under full load.

How about we avoid confusing anyone and simply use a wago?

I cant find a local stock.... But I twist - so everyone else twists - at least on my jobs....

I like to twist, solder, rubber tape, varnish, vinyl tape and then wirenut...... then tape the wirenut.

Do you twist 500's together before you put the splitbolt on?

Read and follow the manufacturers directions, all of them require twisting of some sort. (either before or after)
