Quote from the video:
Quote from Youtube video: And i will line them up i will line the two necks up you see the necks right here i'll line both them up and i'll just kind of start pre-twisting a little bit.
How do you connect 8 gauge wires?
Twist the blue wire connector onto the two white AWG 8 wires inside the junction box to join them. Do not twist the two wires together before installing the wire connector. Instead, let the motion of the connector twist the wires. This makes a better wire connection and avoids a loose wire connector.
How many wires can I nut together?
For example, for a particular manufacturer, a gray nut may work for a minimum of two 22-gauge stranded wires up to a maximum of two 16-gauge solid wires. The next size up (perhaps a blue nut) may be suitable for two 22-gauge solid wires up to a maximum of three 16-gauge solid.
Can you use wire nuts on #8 wire?
Typically, wires are meant to be twisted together first, before applying the wire nut. The large, blue marrettes are designed to handle a pair of #8 AWG conductors.
How do you connect 3 wires together?

Quote from Youtube video: You may use Scotch lock reducing. But terminals a 3-way connector.
Are push connectors as good as wire nuts?
Wire nuts require proper wire stripping and splicing technique to ensure a good connection. On the other hand, push-in wire connectors are easier to install. Push-in wire connector types require no tools at all. Some other wire crimp connectors need a heat gun, a crimper, or both.
How do you put a bunch of wires together?
Quote from the video:
Quote from Youtube video: And then some people will turn to a connector like this these don't require any soldering you just strip your wire. And insert them into the connector. And then you crush the connector.
How many wires can a blue wire nut hold?
A: the blue wire nut can handle up to 4 #10 wires.
How do you connect thick gauge wire?
Quote from the video:
Quote from Youtube video: Sometimes if it's blue wire you might want to use red shrink tube on there just to help help other people identify that it is a positive wire.
How many wires can you pigtail together?
The only appropriate way to wire a receptacle in a box with three cables is to use pigtails to connect the receptacles. Never connect more than one wire under a single screw terminal.
Do you have to twist wires before wire nut?

How many wires can you put in a connector block?
The ASI multiple wire terminal blocks are blocks which allow for the independent connection of 3 to 4 wires in the same terminal block, depending on model, which are internally connected together.
When Should terminal blocks be used?
Terminal blocks are used to join two or more wires together within the same electrical system/machine. They remove the need to solder wires or tape wires together, using a terminal block is also much easier, quicker and a lot more reliable than other methods of joining cable.
Why terminal blocks are used?
Terminal blocks increase safety by grounding, isolating, and protecting the other components in the electrical circuit. Terminal blocks are available with finger-safe connections to prevent electrical shock. And, terminal blocks can also provide test points, which add even more safety to the circuit.
Can you put two wires in one side of a butt connector?
You can twist two wires together and insert them into one end of the butt connector, and insert one wire in the other. Just be sure to properly size the connector. Blues or yellows will probably both work.
How do you crimp 8 gauge butt connectors?
Quote from the video:
