Detailed information

IDEAL® WireTwist™ Cu-Al Wire Connectors are your trusted solution for challenging retrofit applications. CSA-certified for aluminum-to-copper connections, this unique twist-on connector is pre-filled with an antioxidant compound to prevent oxidation and ensure a cooler, more secure connection. The long entry cap keeps the compound inside while enhancing dielectric strength. Swept wings and a flexible, durable shell allow for a comfortable grip and smooth installation. The ribbed cap enables quick, easy installs by hand or with a nut driver. Ideal for retrofitting older residential buildings with aluminum wiring, the Twister® Al/Cu connector delivers reliable performance you can count on.

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
