Answer:
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the question. The term wire nuts is very common in the industry, but the appropriate term is wire connectors. Wire nuts is a term exclusive to one manufacturer. The short answer is no. Standard wire connectors are acceptable as long as they are in accordance with Section 250.8.
