Jim Katen Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 What is your opinion of these push in wire connectors? They are really easy to use, i just wonder how they will hold up over time... Thoughts? They're UL listed. I've seen similar connectors used in modular and manufactured homes, and they seem to hold up just fine. Beyond that, I haven't seen enough of them to form much of an opinion. I wonder if their high price would be offset by a savings in labor. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I've used them when space is at a premium. I don't trust them enough to make them my staple...but they are fast and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Personally, I LOVE new technologies...-as long as my father and grandfather have used them without complaint. (NB: my grandfather died in 1974) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieb Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 They remind me of back-stabbed outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Port Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 They remind me of back-stabbed outlets. While the concept is similar the execution is different. The push-in connectors have a greater contact area on the conductor. This results in greater tension and a cooler running connection.
