Ideal Industries 30-1012 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Ideal 30-1012 INSURE connector work on 12 AWG copper branch-circuit wire?
Yes. The Ideal Industries 30-1012 is an INSURE 90 series twist-on wire connector rated for copper conductors up to 12 AWG, which covers typical 20-amp branch circuits run in 12 AWG. It joins and insulates stripped conductor ends in one step.
2) Can I use a twist-on wire nut like the Ideal 30-1012 to tap a large feeder conductor, or do I need a split bolt?
Use the right tool for the conductor size. The 30-1012 is a twist-on insulated connector for copper branch-circuit conductors up to 12 AWG, which is device and lighting wiring inside boxes. For splicing or tapping heavy copper feeders and grounding conductors, a mechanical split bolt is the correct part: ZenSupply carries the NSi Industries copper split bolt connector in the N-SP tin-plated series and the 2-wire N series. Split bolts are not insulated, so they get taped or covered after torquing.
3) Can an NSi split bolt connector be used instead of the Ideal 30-1012 twist-on connector for splicing 12 AWG branch circuit wires?
They are different splice methods and are not interchangeable in the same way. The Ideal 30-1012 is a twist-on wire connector rated for copper conductors up to 12 AWG, threaded onto stripped conductor ends so the connector body both joins and insulates the splice. The NSi N-4 is a copper split bolt connector for 2 wires, and the NSi N-2SP is a tin plated copper split bolt. A split bolt is a bolted mechanical connector supplied bare, so the splice has to be insulated separately with tape or a cover after it is made. For routine 12 AWG junction box and device splicing the twist-on is the quicker termination; split bolts are the usual choice for tapping heavier conductors where a bolted connection is wanted.
4) How many wire nuts come in the Ideal 30-1012 pack?
Ninety pieces per pack. That is the whole purchase unit for the 30-1012, so a crew wiring out devices, lighting, and junction boxes has enough on hand for a multi-box job without breaking into a second pack.
5) What part number do I order for the Ideal INSURE 12 AWG connector?
Order Ideal Industries 30-1012. That is the manufacturer part number, in the INSURE 90 series, supplied as a 90-piece pack of 12 AWG twist-on connectors.
6) What is the difference between the NSi N-2SP and N-4 split bolt connectors if I am looking for an alternative to twist-on connectors?
The NSi N-2SP is a tin plated copper split bolt connector in the N-SP series, while the NSi N-4 is a copper split bolt connector in the N series configured for 2 wires. Both are bolted mechanical connectors rather than twist-on devices, so unlike the Ideal 30-1012 INSURE connector they do not provide insulation on their own and need to be taped or covered. The tin plating on the N-2SP is the plating distinction between the two.
7) Where are the Ideal INSURE 30-1012 connectors typically used on the job?
Panel and junction box splicing, lighting and receptacle circuits, maintenance and repair work, and new construction or renovation wiring, in residential, commercial, and industrial branch circuits. It is a stocking item for electrical contractors and MRO crews doing repeat device terminations.
8) I need connectors for a large job without reordering constantly. Which option comes in bulk quantity?
The Ideal Industries 30-1012 is supplied as a 90-pack of INSURE 90 series twist-on connectors for conductors up to 12 AWG, which suits crews doing repeated device and junction box splices across a job. The NSi copper split bolt connectors, the N-4 2-wire type and the tin plated N-2SP, are bolted connectors chosen per splice rather than consumed in volume the same way, so they serve a different role on the same jobsite.
