NSi NSITM-OB-100P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes do the NSi TM-OB twist-on connectors handle?
The NSi TM-OB twist-on wire connectors are rated for 22 through 12 AWG conductors, which covers the usual mix of 18 AWG fixture leads, 14 AWG branch circuit wire and 12 AWG runs found in residential and commercial work. The pack ships with both orange and blue connectors so you have a smaller and a larger wing nut on hand for different conductor counts.
2) Are these wire nuts OK for 277V lighting circuits?
Yes. These NSi twist-on connectors carry a 600V rating, so 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V building circuits are all within rating. They are UL Listed as a pressure-type wire connector and cULus marked, which is what an inspector looks for on a commercial lighting splice.
3) Can I use these connectors inside a recessed can or a hot ballast compartment?
They are rated to 105C, which covers fixture junction boxes and ballast or driver compartments that run warm. The shell is a flame-retardant UL 94V-2 thermoplastic, so it holds its insulating properties in those enclosures. If your fixture label calls for a higher-temperature connector than 105C, use what the label specifies.
4) Do I have to pre-twist the wires before putting these wire nuts on?
No pre-twisting needed. The connector uses a quick-bite square-cut spring that grips the conductors as you turn it, so you can strip, align the ends and drive the nut on. The springs are zinc plated for low contact resistance.
5) What is in the NSi TM-OB-100P pack, and how many connectors do I get?
TM-OB-100P is a 100-piece assortment of orange and blue twist-on connectors, one part number covering both colors rather than two separate boxes. That is enough to stock a van or a maintenance cart for a run of device and fixture changes.
6) Will these twist-on connectors work for aluminum wire?
These are general-purpose pressure-type twist-on connectors rated for 22-12 AWG building wire. For aluminum or aluminum-to-copper splices you need a connector specifically listed for AL or AL/CU service with the required antioxidant compound, which is a different product class. Use these for copper conductors.
7) Are these wire nuts easier to tighten by hand than standard ones?
The wings are rounded and shaped for grip, which lets you put more torque on the nut by hand in a crowded box without a tool. That matters most on 12 AWG splices with three or more conductors, where a flat-wing nut tends to bite into your fingers.
8) Do these NSi connectors meet RoHS and REACH for a green building spec?
Yes. The TM-OB connectors are both RoHS and REACH compliant, which covers the restricted-substance line items that show up on LEED and institutional procurement submittals. They are manufactured in China.
