Ideal Industries 30-253 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can IDEAL 73B Wire-Nut connectors be used in a plenum or air handling space?
Yes. IDEAL's Model 71B, 72B and 73B High-Temp Wire-Nut connectors are all rated for use in air handling spaces, so the 73B (part 30-253) is the one to reach for above a ceiling plenum or inside an air handler where a standard connector is not accepted.
2) Will a high-temp wire nut hold up inside a high-wattage light fixture or sign ballast compartment?
That is exactly what the 73B black High-Temp Wire-Nut is built for. IDEAL states it is designed to withstand the extreme heat build-up found in high-wattage light fixtures and signs, which is where standard-temperature connectors tend to get brittle and lose grip.
3) Can I use the IDEAL 73B for ground and bonding splices?
Yes, the 73B High-Temp Wire-Nut is approved for bonding and grounding applications, so it can be used on an equipment ground pigtail rather than only on line and neutral conductors.
4) Do these IDEAL wire nuts work on fine stranded wire, like fixture leads or control cable?
They do. The 73B uses a fixed square-wire spring and IDEAL calls it excellent for fine stranded wire applications, which is the common failure point for connectors that rely on a tapered spring alone. Good choice for luminaire leads and stranded control conductors.
5) How many wire nuts come in the IDEAL 30-253 keg?
The 30-253 is a bulk keg of 10,000 Model 73B black connectors. That is a stocking quantity for an electrical contractor's shop, a distributor, or an MRO crib standardizing on one high-temp connector across a facility, not a job-box pack.
6) What is the difference between IDEAL's 71B, 72B and 73B high-temp connectors?
They are three sizes in the same High-Temp Wire-Nut family, all three rated for air handling spaces. The 73B is the largest of the three and covers the widest wire combinations; 71B and 72B step down for smaller splices. Part 30-253 is the 73B in black.
7) Do I need a tool or driver to install IDEAL 73B Wire-Nuts?
No tool needed. The 73B has a positive grip shell meant to be twisted on by hand, so an installer can run a full fixture retrofit with nothing but strippers.
