Switch wiring

[steigs]

I have a double box containg two dimmers. There is the service line coming in from the main panel, and one line going to an outlet next to the dimmers, in addition to the two circuits the dimmers control. This leaves me with four #12 neutrals to tie together. What's the best way to do this? Do they make wire nuts big enough to accept four wires of this gauge, or is there an alternate method?

Great forum, btw.. [8D]

You can twist them all together and use a wire nut. Dont just stick them in the wire nut, twist them together first. They come in that size. I always tape the wire and wire nut with electrical tape as well.
Good luck.

Steigs,

When I have a more than three wires to join I always use the marr type connectors that are two peice and have the set screw in them and I can be sure that all wires are secured.



Good luck, Jim
