So this may be a dumb question, but I'm assuming wire nuts are not
suitable for Fine strand wire? I agree that most installs are not
code compliant in this regard. Its really tough to find parts or
even good info on this. <br>

manufacturers will steer away from supplying fine stranded
wires with their trunk cables – it’s been a joke trying to
fine the proper listed reasonably priced parts to make these
connections. I bet that a huge percentage of the installs
out there are not meeting the listing for fine stranded
conductors. </span></p>
