I've seen the same, although I generally use double crimp wire connections even on the smaller gauge wires. One crimp obviously attaches to the copper conductor the other crimp attaches to the wire insulation. Both Crimps are made with the same tool in the same crimping action. I suppose there i

Hi Charlie: On certified products, I have seen shrink-wrap holding soldered connections in place. The shrink-wrap must attached to both the wire and some other "thing" that holds the wire in place should the solder connection fail. I have seen the shrink wrap covering both the s

Concur. Two methods of securement are required for ground bond material connections. And assume that heat-shrink material is being referenced. Heat shrink is not intended for this use, nor has any safety standard provided assessment methods where heat shrink is used for other than boot and insu

Group I'm looking for examples of what would and would not be considered as acceptable positioning or support devices for soldered connections. Can shrink-wrap alone be considered to provide acceptable "holding in place" , particularly in the earth wire. I think not, but would be grateful for
