I know pso uses it. i thought you couldn't use in residential since the 70's maybe im wrong.It's still allowed in some circumstances but must use the connectors ratel AL/CU. It's perfectly safe if the connection is performed correctly

Used to go in the buckets in pryor to change big ole fuses had to wear a 100 cal suit with hood some scary sh_ _. I had the shepherds hook and my boss checked and changed the fuses. watched films of the fireball that comes out of those things if you do it wrong during our training.Back in 90s, I had a crew doing instrument repair and recalibration. All of us carried a pager. Going into the refineries and some other plants, no pagers were allowed.
I made the techs put the pagers on vibrate and in their pocket.
Would wait until one was calibration a 1000v meter and dial his pager. Had several screwdrivers stuck in ceilings.

NoaloxMost service mains are aluminum wires!
And the ground strips in the breaker boxes are aluminum!
There is a goo in a tube your supposed to use in the aluminum to keep it from oxidizing!
Cant remember the name of the goo. Pretty sure Square D makes it
WOW! That "contractor" should have his license pulled!I know it's an old thread but Chris bumped it and I'm sitting in a dark, rather chilly house right now so here goes ...
Hired this guy to come put in a new box and an outlet for the new freezer that should have been delivered yesterday (that's for a thread all it's own ) ... Anyhooooooo ...
My neighbor the contractor was remodeling the kitchen (fired him in the middle of his job -- that is also for another thread ). This work included putting in a new stove. Today I find out that he wired my electric oven/stove to the same wire that was run to the outlet which our toaster and coffee pot are plugged in to. Not a big deal?? Well I guess it wouldn't have been except the outlet is 20 amp and the stove is 50 amp. It is my most fervent wish that that SOBs house burns down while he's cooking dinner some evening. Lazy bastard. I couldn't live with myself if I'd done something like that. You don't **** around with electricity. Dammit. Ok. There. I said my piece. I gotta put my boots on and get on to work.
Oh ... And btw ... Watch your vehicles. A co-worker, who parks about halfway between the store and 7-11 out in our parking lot had her catalytic convertet stolen last night while she was at work. ****ing thieves ...
... Never used the push in feature. Always twisted the wires first when using wire nuts. I still won't use 14 g wire
If so, I hope you ran new grounds if there weren't any in the boxes and grounded them good with 6 foot copper ground rods instead of the copper plumbing like my old house.Replaced all the plugs and switches in my house with Levitton. Bend wire and screw down.
Not that there was an obvious problem, but they were 55 years old. Plugs were 2 prong, now 3.
