Tyco/TE Connectivity In-Wall/Boxless NM splices

[JFletcher]

All Carlon closed back boxes have a 2hr fire rating.

A single splice like the Tyco doesnt bother me from a fire aspect... think of the thousands of miles of NM installed every year, some with shredded jackets, bad splices, backstabbed receptacles, damage from rodents, being kinked, overdriven staples, etc. Just the fact that I am using a product that I wouldnt normally use, and knowing it will be concealed would prompt me to take more time to get it right.

"They are a one-time-use item and once locked together are very difficult to separate. In fact, once separated they are not to be reused and must be replaced. The device is stamped with the wording 'DO NOT RE-TERMINATE'".

What electrical parts have you not had to replace over your years in the trade?

Ya know your Yankee common sense can be irritating?

Me no like gizmo stuff. Just a opinion.

Understood. I've used them when I had absolutely no other choice. They do have a place and they certainly fill that void when needed.

What is a gizmo? you still use brace and bit instead of cordless drills in this age?

Similar to a whatamacallit, but not quite a thingamabob. Probably most closet to a dohickey.
