Re: Twist-On Connectors for Aluminum Wiring
Dear Dr. Aronstein:
In answer to your recent inquiry, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff does not consider the use of the twist-on connector (including the Ideal No.65) to be a suitable repair for aluminum wiring in residences.
Acceptable repairs are those identified in the CPSC publication "Repairing Aluminum Wiring" (copy enclosed).
Sincerely,
Enc
