Sec.  111.60-17  Connections and terminations.



    (a) In general, connections and terminations to all conductors must 

retain the original electrical, mechanical, flame-retarding, and, where 

necessary, fire-resisting properties of the cable. All connecting 

devices must be suitable for copper stranded conductors.

    (b) If twist-on type of connectors are used, the connections must be 

made within an enclosure and the insulated cap of the connector must be 

secured to prevent loosening due to vibration.

    (c) Twist-on type of connectors may not be used for making joints in 

cables, facilitating a conductor splice, or extending the length of a 

circuit.
