Why are these nuts purple?

There is no requirement to use anti-oxidant paste with this connector, and doing so would actually violate the manufacturer’s instructions. The connector is prefilled with the type and amount of compound required.

I used CopAlum up until about a year ago. I use other methods now, which do not include the Ideal #65.

UL never approves anything they list or label the products that are inspected in accordance with their standards!

I hate it when that happens…:roll:

Please do not headline a thread “Why are these nuts purple” again. I was afraid to open it!

Not saying that he did a bad job but a lot of what he is saying is not found in the code.

You notice that no females posted on this one. :mrgreen:
