Thanks for the info.
BTW, while I'm typically not a cheapskate, on my retirement allowance I

All replies appreciated.

This is one of those instances where'd I'd say the code is a
"suggestion."

Then your advice is worth exactly what the OP is paying for it. In many
places, the Code is _the law_.

Sort of like a stop sign in the middle of nowhere in the
middle of the night. If you can solder well and put a couple of layers
of shrink tube on it, I'd say go for it. I wouldn't do it with wire nuts..

Code violation, and, if underground, unsafe besides. Electrical codes are
there for a reason. Don't advise people to disregard them.- Hide quoted text -

Agreed especially since he mentioned soldeing the wires. The code
should be violated only by those who know how |.
