Just wondering something. Do you HAVE to use the anti-oxidize gel (whatever you call it) on Al wires when connecting it into panels etc.? Some say that you must others have no opinion? :D

Who is Al Wire? Is he a new member? :D



It's NOT code required. It's just a really good idea.

Well ill put some on there when I do the connect. Only a few dollars for a tube and won't be that time consuming!!

I will not make an AL connection without it. I coat the threads of lugs and terminals as well. I hate the AL to AL friction you get.

A few dollars? For the tiny tube maybe. The brush top can I get is about $12. :eek:
I only realized this recently. I never checked the price before.

I saw a tube of the stuff. Decent size was about 5.00 at Lowe's. Did not see the can and brush type. Will look again.. threads too? Good point. Will do

Thanks

Mike

Anyone who doesn't use it May be Looking for future work. I like to "Do it right once and forget about it". I also use on threads. You or customer will appreciate later.
