King Innovation 95015 AlumiConn Wire Connector, 10 pk, Purple, Count

Fantastic product which is easy to install so insurance companies will be placated. In my area there are thousands of homes with aluminum wiring that were built with quality electricians and proper engineering so they are not burning down unless the untrained person makes changes. Problem comes in when people start making changes to the work which is what this product is perfect for. Now homeowners can work with their aluminum wiring and as long as they follow the simple instructions they will not have any issues.I had no problems with these fitting into the boxes even with four or more needed because as mentioned above houses around here were built right and the boxes were large enough so the aluminum wire was not bent to harshly causing an overheat issue.On the other side tho an aluminum rated device properly torqued and pasted is the same install. So the whole training thing seems to be the issue. This is the reason why I gave three stars for the value for the money. As soon as "regular Joes" start improperly using these and the house fires start up insurance companies will require a different product that has no track record (like 50 years).

Love my connectors, made my job easy and customer was happy

I have an older rental house with aluminum wiring. These connectors seem much more secure and reliable than the purple twist ons. Be sure to get a torque screwdriver to properly install these. The wiring I encountered was 12ga so I had to back out the lugs almost all the way to get the wires properly seated. I like that they have two-wire versions for tight electrical boxes as these connectors are rather large. Also, I found some shallow GFCI receptacles that helped free up space (Leviton GFTR1-3W).

I'm not an electrician, just a layman doing some electrical work in my home. I've done plenty before - under the guidance of electrician friends - so I know what I'm doing. But when it comes to aluminum wire, well, I don't. My research indicated this was the best product for connecting aluminum wire to aluminum wire, or aluminum wire to copper wire. Not much information was out there about connecting copper clad aluminum wire to copper wire, which is what I had to do. What did exist indicated that this would be the safest way to go, if not overkill.I only needed two of these, and was pleased to find them on Amazon for just a little change over the per each price when bought in a box of 100. I found the product easy to use and I'm satisfied that I've taken no chances with my house, my family and the safety of both.I don't know of another product like this. If you need connect aluminum wire to copper or aluminum, this is it. If you need to connect copper clad aluminum to well, anything else including itself, I think this is it, but that's not a documented fact.I will note that they came in a plastic bag. No labeling, no instructions. Perhaps the seller bought in bulk and sells them per each. All I know is they didn't appear to be labeled for per each sale. This didn't bother me, but please be aware that there are some torque guidelines the manufacturer recommends and without the documentation, you wouldn't know that nor what they are. I'm a perfectionist so even though I thought use of the product seemed pretty self-explanatory, I did a quick Google search and came up with the manufacturers website / instructions. Will your house burn down if you don't follow the recommended torque? I don't know, but the reason I bought these was to take no chances so I'm glad I sought out the instructions.I would certainly buy again or recommend to a friend.

I bought a 100-pack of the 3 wire and two of the 25-pack of the 2 wire AlumiConns. I also purchased 25 feet of 12/2 Romex and used up all of it as my pigtails. I also purchased a reasonably priced firearm torque screwdriver on Amazon to set it to 15Lbs of torque. My house was built in 1971 and 3/4 of my house is wired with 10 gauge aluminum. I lived in my house for almost 10 years and had 3 different incidences of arcing receptacle. The last incident was the worse so I decided to finally do something about it. I did some research and found these.Over a course of 2 weeks, I turned off individual breakers, opened up each receptacle, light switch, light fixture, and junction box and Pigtailed 12 gauge copper to aluminum using these AlumiConns torqued to 15Lbs or torque. I took my time, cut the old aluminum tips off, stripped a fresh aluminum wire, and inserted each into AlumiConns with a pigtail copper. Some boxes were more tricky than others, but I have the satisfaction of knowing that every signal junction/connection that has aluminum has been remediated. It's doable for a DIY'er homeowner if you do your research 1st and take your time not to do a sloppy job. I ended up replacing several old receptacles as I encountered them too. I did get Carpel tunnel as a result of this, but I am still happy to get this done.The only con is that I feel that these are overpriced for what they are. but they are supposed to be a permanent fix if installed correctly.

Good price

Several months ago I ordered a box of 100 alumiconns but only received 82 units. Sent the entire order back. This time I actually received exactly 100 units and am happy now. All pieces are open and unused. The last time I ordered some of the pieces were snapped closed and you could tell they had been used because some of the anti-ox paste was missing. This time around I received a proper order. Thanks!

I bought some purple wirenuts at the box store which claimed to be okay for aluminum<->copper wire connections, but from what I understand, these are the UL recommended items to use, so I bought a set of these. So far, so good.

These wiring boxes have made our home safe again. Easy to install with proper tools. Love them.

These are brilliant. Ever try to wire a light fixture with tiny stranded aluminum wire normal gauge household copper wiring?? It’s difficult unless you are a pro electrician. And the wire connectors sold for aluminum to copper are too big for a small aluminum strand to household copper. These make the task simple,secure and much safer in my non expert opinion. Most people also don’t know that aluminum to copper connections require a antioxidant lubricant on both wires. These connectors already have it filled in the holes.Awesome product. They only improvement I see that could be made is the price!!! YIKES!! And the fact that you MUST torque the screws to 15 foot-lbs using a torque screwdriver. I had one. You would be amazed how much torque 15 foot lbs is. Great product. I gave it 5 stars but due to the price it’s really 4.5. But I would buy them again anyway

I wanted to copper pigtail an aluminum wired house and found that I was faced with very short wires in the junction boxes. I found the Alumiconn was easier to use than the wire nut variety, I was somewhat concerned about the size of the Alumiconn might be difficult to fit as a lot of the junction boxes had nails driven through the box. However with some planning on the wire management I found it was possible. Although the Alumiconn is the more expensive solution than purple wire nuts or the T&B ACS wire nuts, I believe having the wires terminated individually provides a superior connection.

I read that in the US for aluminum wire, copper pigtails using wire nuts was no longer code.AlumiConn connectors was one of the accepted remediation's. The screws in the AlumiConn have to be torqued as per manufacturers recommendations.Although more expensive than wire nuts you can't put a price on safety!

Got the job done worked great
