I've obtained some yellow colored wire nuts that have the words "Hi-Y"
and "22-10" in small letters on the top. I would like to know who
manufactured them so I can look up what the minimum and maximum number
of wires of a given size they will hold.

I do know that Ideal Industries' red colored wire nuts have the words
"BUCHANON" and "B2" in small letters on the top, so I don't think mine
are made by Ideal.

Thanks for responding. My initial search produced nothing so that's
why I posted the question. Later I dug deeper and found this gem:

On page 10 I found my answer and capacity comparisons with several
manufacturers of 3 syles of wire connnectors. I was surprised to see
that 3M's yellow "Scotchlok-Y" and "Q/B" did NOT have the capacity to
hold three #12 wires.

Sorry, wrong page. Try this:

I think both refs are useful.

However, I would like to know if the color scheme is standardized by
the various manufacturers ???

The answer to that is on page 10 of 34PCONN.pdf
