How to choose a wire nut size

  1. Find the sizes of the wires you are joining, in AWG. The size is printed on the wire jacket.
  2. Pick a cap whose published range includes every one of them. The smallest and the largest wire in the splice must both be inside the range.
  3. Read the range on the pack, not the colour alone. Colour marks the size range on Zone caps, but colours are not the same from one brand to another.
  4. Wet, damp or buried? Use a silicone-filled cap listed to UL 486G: waterproof direct-bury wire nuts. Grounding? The green cap with a hole is listed to UL 467.
