Thanks very much for your responses Guys, and especially to Doug for
the link to the NEC Online. In summary, the code does not forbid the
use of electrical tape as insulation on spliced wires (yes, insulation
removed, ends twisted).

Jesus Christ, how cheap can you be? Go buy a pack of 50 red wirenuts
and 25 yellow ones, shove them in the guys face and tell him to use
them. You spent about $6 and saved your home and/or life. Also, when
it comes to adding an outlet or something later on, it will save the
next electrician 20 minutes of time to scrape the tape off.


Not only that, but is this the last electrician in town or something?
Cripes...hire someone with a brain.
