A lot of people do that. They usually leave disappointed. :-)



I am the OP. I came, not looking for approval of/for something that had
already happened but expressing amazement that what I found -- black
hots and red hots (thus with 220/240 volts between them), with crimped
connections and a few layers of insulation tape -- could ever have been
kosher.


Just for the record -- if they've been properly crimped and taped, that *does*
meet Code.

I have remade the connections using wirenuts -- as I intended to do all
along.
