Hi Bob, I like you always twisted the wires before using the wire nut. I always used the tape as you described. A few years ago I had an electrician friend here when I was running the 220 line for my dust collector. When I got out the tape he told me not to use it that it is no longer in the electric code. Wonder where I could find that code. He told me that in the past some people relied on the tape as opposed to making sure that the wire nut was tight enough. Next time I talk to him I will try and remember to ask more about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Kennedy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] garbage disposal
Alligator clips and AC current aren't a good idea. There are usually 2 wires inside the unit, a cap with a couple Philips screws is the access point. Pull the wires out, and run black to black and white to white. I lay a length of house and disposal wire next to each other and braid the ends together. Then run a wire nut on the braided part. I always tape beginning on the wires and out on to the wire nut. Then tuck the wires back inside as much as possible. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Riddle To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] garbage disposal How does it hook up to the electrical supply? Just alligator clips? How do you match the wires if it's the latter? Just click them together and hope for the best?
