Some of you will probably roll your eyes and shake your head.
I am down to my very last connections and ran into a corundum. I just don't want to mess up as I only have a few MC 4 connectors.
They are 8 awg and have a thick barrel fitting for the wire similar to these. https://www.amazon.com/Witproton-Con...5775144&sr=8-3
My crimper has several dies that could work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Do I use one if the ferrule dies (10WF or 35WF) or the 10N for a non insulated barrel. My gut says the 10N as it appears to create a stronger crimp and the fitting wall is thicker than the typical ferrule.
Its real hot on the roof, but I got the panels installed and attachment points sealed. I decided to stop before I made a mess and got overheated. Ill get up early tomorrow and finish up.
Also how did you folks secure your wires? I am thinking of just putting a glob of self leveling sealant.
Thoughts?
Thanks for the help
