Ideal Industries WGR-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the IDEAL WGR-1 WingTwist connector approved for grounding and bonding, not just general splices?
Yes. The Model WGR is approved for bonding and grounding applications, which is why it comes in green rather than the color used for IDEAL's general-purpose twist-on connectors. Use it where you are tying equipment grounding conductors together in a box.
2) Will the WGR-1 handle a mix of different ground wire sizes in the same box?
That is what the deep skirt is for. The WGR-1 has a wide, deep skirt opening that takes a variety of wire combinations, and the flexible shell expands as you turn so the connector tightens progressively rather than binding on the largest conductor. Good for the usual situation where a 12 AWG ground from a branch circuit lands with 14 AWG grounds in a device box.
3) How many WGR-1 grounding connectors come in a box?
The WGR-1 ships 50 connectors to a box, which is the practical quantity for a rough-in crew working a floor of device boxes rather than a one-off repair.
4) Do I need a tool to install the WingTwist WGR-1, or is it hand-tightened?
Hand-tightened. The contoured wings on the WGR-1 give you leverage for maximum torque by hand, so an electrician can seat it without a nut driver. The square-wire spring inside expands onto the conductors as you turn to hold the connection.
5) What is the difference between the green WGR grounding connector and IDEAL's other twist-on wire connectors?
Function and color coding. The green WGR is the model IDEAL approves for bonding and grounding work; the rest of the WingTwist line is sized by wire combination for general splicing. The WGR-1 is one model within a full line covering virtually every wire size and combination, so if you are splicing hot and neutral conductors you want a different model in the same family, not this one.
6) What exact part number do I order for the IDEAL green grounding wire nut?
IDEAL Industries WGR-1 is the part number, sold as the WingTwist grounding connector in green.
