Preparing to install an electronic countdown timer, Woods 59013.
(rated for 15amps for my application - 2 exhaust fans running at 3.5amps each )
348515 348516
Unlike the above picture, all the leads (14ga) appear to be aluminum.
The have supplied four wire nuts, so I assume they are good to go,
but I am hesitant to connect aluminum to my copper (12ga) using wire nuts.
An acquaintance had a house fire attributed to pigtailing copper to
aluminum (14ga to 14ga) with similar wire nuts.
His situation was reversed, Al house wiring using Cu pigtails to connect to a Cu device.
Is there an issue?
