these taps and connectors are the ones i was referring to in another forum thread that was some pictures posted of a house with duck taped blocks in the crawl space. the company i work for uses them in emergency type repairs for nm in walls and in attic spaces. there is a manufactured houseing site near us and we do a lot of the hookups when they slide the 2 halves together aswell as setting the services to them. the literature provided by the wholesale house at the time is that they were suitable for use in the walls and in the attic (listed and labeled for nm, as nmwire is to be used fished in voids ETC.)the company policy is use them only as a last last resort but we have used them, they are easy to get but they are spendy about 3-4 dollars
