Chocolate block.

I know Radio Shack (and others) sell these for low voltage connections
but are they NEC approved for house wiring?

I Googled them and all the sites that carry larger sizes seem to be in
the UK or NZ.

I was first introduced to them while serving in the USCG in Germany
back in the late seventies, but again, only for low voltage apps.

Are they NEC approved to be used in the application the OP described?
