ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Green Wirenuts?

I only use them in single gang boxes. In a two, three, four, or five gang boxes, it makes no sense to use a greenie, unless you leave 1 long bonding conductor an prefer doing it like that, I do not.

never use them.. never will.. use only copper crimps, greenies just take up to much room and who needs more wire nuts kicking around..

I always used the Red or Yellow wing nuts in my nail apron for all the joints and or pigtails.

I like the idea of the "greenie" but, since I do very little new construction on anything smaller than a small factory, for me, they're a waste of money.
I also don't believe in crimping.
I was always trained that a crimped slice is not ideal for solid wires and on almost every crimped ground splice I have come across, there is atleast one wire that seems too loose to be a healthy connection.
For me, a properly sized wire nut has always been the method of choice.
As for daisy chaining grounds across devices, I don't mind it and it leaves atleast one less wire in the splice.
