The picture is wrong. Allen size is wrong. The joints are already good

1. Wrong picture. It's covered in rubber insulation, not bare metal by the looks of it. (Similar to Version 97017)2. Allen's statement is wrong. It's a 3/16" hex, not a 7/32". The manufacturer needs to update both items. In the meantime see part number 97017 for exact appearance and hex sizing chart. The rest of the splicing is very good.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • There are defects

Rescuer! - Electrical Connections

Saved me bacon replacing the service entry box. I couldn't get an exact replacement box so had to use one which required a different routing of my service entrance which required longer 2/0 wires. Since they didn't want to pull new wires from the pole, they saved me. I consulted with my district inspector who said they were fine, especially since they were installed in the box. The PUD in my area uses them all the time. They are well made, pre-loaded with anti-rust paste and easy to assemble…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Hard to tell

No installation information

Contrary to some claims, no installation instructions were included. The datasheet on the Morris website lists the torque but not the strip length, which seems like a very important omission. Honestly, strip length is more important than torque. 89 is stuck and I don't have a torque wrench. I'll tighten it as tight as I can without breaking it, as with any electrical connection. But I really want to know how many wires to strip. It would also be nice to know "inside" - should the stripped wires

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
