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).


It does, however, forbid splices that do not have an additional
mechanical fastening other than the twisting of the wires. At least,
that's my reading of it...

Quite true, it does. But also, per Code, the local inspection authority
has
the final say. In this case, it appears that local inspection authority
said
OK. Probably shouldn't have...

I think the OP came here looking for approval for something that already
happened, like there was no turning back.
