wiring joint question
Hanz,
You are either super lucky or live in Arizona and boat on lake Havisou (sp). Steve "Hanz" wrote in message ... I used Ideal set-screw wire connector on our boat for 20 year and have had no problems.

If the wire is solid and not braided, sell the boat. Both of these no no's are fundamental to marine wiring. Proper way is to use a terminal strip. An alternate is to use a 3-way splice available from West marine and many others. I won't go into the proper way to crimp terminals. Pat Harman "RB" wrote in message ... Got a 12ga wire running along under a panel in a hard to get to place. With great efforts and contortions, I can reach it to cut it and strip insulation of the cut ends. What I need to do is rejoin the cut ends, and come off with an additional wire to go to a different location. If there's slack, I can put the three ends together and use a wire nut. Assuming there isn't enough slack for the wire nut trick, are there any neat little critters out there for this specific purpose? What are they called? Who has 'em? I agree: no wiring nuts. But if you have room for a wiring nut, then you may have room for a crimp connected pigtail instead, and that can be attached to a terminal strip in an accessible place. A far better solution.
