Videos like this can be misleading because they make it look like you need to twist the conductors excessively before installing the wire connector. 🤦♂️
The amount of pre-twisting depends on:
✅ The type of wire connector being used
✅ The manufacturer’s instructions
✅ Wire size and conductor count
✅ Local code requirements and best practices
Over-twisting can damage conductors, weaken connections, and create unnecessary stress on the wire. A proper splice isn’t measured by how many twists you can fit into it—it’s measured by a secure, tested, code-compliant connection. ⚡
📖 Always follow the wire connector manufacturer’s instructions and installation specifications.
👇 What’s your take? Do you pre-twist every splice, or follow the connector manufacturer’s recommendations?
