maximum # of connections #14 wire

[ian]

I want to join 5 (white wire) #14 wires together with 1 red moret is this OK

Depends on the brand of connector

Marr 335 connector -- yes

Ideal Red Connector -- Possibly - very fiddly. very unforgiving. You have to be very good to use them correctly. I hate them & always throw them away.

Ideal Tan or Blue Connector -- Great for the job. Very versatile and forgiving.

Every box or bag of wire nuts (marrettes to Canadians) comes with a chart on the box or bag listing the number and gauge of wires that it will accomodate. Some brands do a better job at this than others. The red ones that I use (Buchannan B-Cap) will accomodate 5 #14's with no problem.
