here in miami either FPL or dade county inspectors would shoot you if you used romex connectors to splice wire.. sheesh.. i dont even know who would be so irresponsible as to use those.. sounds like a fire waiting to happen.. here, for taps, we use the brass split-bugs covered in friction tape, and to connect 2 wires, we either use the split bugs (not usually any more, thats an older practice now) or hy-press sleves (insulated crimp sleves filled with anti-oxidant cream for alum wires) the hy-presses use these really neat hand held ratcheting crimpers.. really trick.. also, i dont know if its a local or national code, but my boss said that we're not allowed to use any splicing methods on supplying conductors inside meter cans, or panels... ya gotta pull new wire... its a pain...
