Re: [RE-wrenches] Push-in Wire Connectors

[Kent Osterberg]

Jason, The roof is a wet location so connectors rated for wet locations are required. The NEMA 4 rating of the junction box doesn't change matters. Kent Osteberg Blue Mountain Solar   Jason Szumlanski wrote: Anyone see a problem using Ideal In-Sure Push-In Wire Connectors in a NEMA 4 roof mounted PVC junction box? Specifically, Ideal Model 39 for splicing #10 AWG.   They are 105C, 600V rated, but not rated for wet locations. I’ve had inspectors require wet location rated twist-on wire connectors before in these boxes. I foresee an issue…   Unfortunately, these connectors were not addressed in John Wiles code corner Making Connections article in 2003. May be time for an update!   Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar   _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
