Irreversible Splice? [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

<x-flowed>

August:

If you don't want to purchase a crimper, can you take screw terminal 
splices (NSI/Polaris or Burndy, for example) and drill out the screw 
heads?  That make a splice "non-reversible!"

William Miller

PS:  I am being a bit facetious-- but you know, I sometimes get weary of 
inspectors that don't know didly about the industry and choose to find 
nit-picky details to focus on rather than safe, sensible installation 
practices.
