Tips for pigtailing / wirenutting outlets with 12AWG wire
Howdy all.
Since I will be pigtailing in about 20 outlets and I know 12AWG can be kind of stiff to work with, I thought I would ask if anyone here has any tips to make the job easier ? I have already pre-wired the pig-tails to the outlets since it's something that could easily be done from the comfort of my couch while watching the basketball game. The pigtails for the hots, neutrals and grounds are all about 6 inches long and I just made them from some existing 12AWG NM/B wire I had (si they're pretty straight right now). I have the red wing-nut style wire-nuts and will have to joint (3) 12AWG wires into each nut. Any tips to make the job easier or better would be appreciated! Thanks, Kevin |
