After searching high and low I'm coming to the conclusion that an
Aluminum compatible GFCI outlet does not exist.


So I want to install GFCI breakers on the associated circuits as an
alternative to fishing new wire.


How do I know if a GFCI breaker can be used on a circuit that is wired
aluminum?


GFCI breakers will still protect you if you stick a fork in a toaster
even with aluminum wire.


You should never connect a copper only rated device to aluminum wire because
it creates a serious fire hazzard. If you don't know that you shouldn't be
answering questions from people who obviously already know more than you.


I got a jar full of pennies and nickels and dimes?.

How come it hasn't caught on fire yet?
