I'm wiring an addition to my house.. I've been through this a few times in the past (actually rewired my current house a few years ago). I really like to use stranded wire since it is easier to pull (12 Ga THHN). I just find it annoying getting stranded wire around the screw connectors on outlets and switches.
Is is accepted by code (2005 NEC) to use mechanical crimp lugs in the place of wrapping the wire around the screw connector? I can not find a reference on GB's site stating that they specifically conform to the 2005 NEC...
Is this a crazy way to attach the wires?
Thanks,
Steve
