Default Blue wire connectors
All these years,I never read grey wire connectors were good for 2 #8 conductors,big blue connectors good for 2 #8 conductors.

Whoops, I thought Big blues were good for 2 #6wires.

Huh?

Both 3M and Ideal "blue" wire nuts are rated for 2 #6 wires. Ideal skips the "gray" size that 3M has that is rated for 2 #8 wires. Both "blues" are rated for 3 #8 wires
