MPdesign Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 Just to recheck, Is there anything wrong with aluminum wiring being used on devices rated for Cu/Al? No special pigtails or anything - all aluminum.
Marc Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 CU/ALR, CU/AL More near the end of this article: Creep in older aluminum formulations Marc
hausdok Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 Hi, Light switches and receptacles should be CU/ALR. Those are designed for the thicker aluminum wiring. The breakers can be CU/AL.. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
Jim Katen Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Just for clarity, there's no such thing as a CU/ALR. It's either CU/AL or CO/ALR.

Mike Well, it's both you and Marc. I'm happy to delete inappropriate posts, but I'd rather not edit others' posts.
