[RE-wrenches] Pass through/transition box for Enphase

[Jerry Shafer]

We will not alow any of our people or any subs to use wire nut twist nuts,
over the years l have seen way to many electrical issues as a result in
someone using the twist nuts, approved crimps are the best way to go with
the least space required.
