Aluminium wire is not allowed, no. Not for a very long time, and I have never seen any. (lead-sheathed, cotton-insulated yes, but no aluminium) Junction boxes must always be accessible to allow for re-tightening. Whether anyone ever does is a different question. Are you saying that Wire Nuts stay tight indefinitely? And that they have enough contact pressure to maintain gas tightness? How do you make the connections to lamp holders, plug sockets and switches? Are those not screw-clamp? -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
