Works great for converting a split phase electrical box to single phase with a back fed breaker.
I'm building an off-grid cabin that is solar and wind powered. I have no need for 240 volts AC so I needed to convert a split phase electrical box to a single phase box using a back-fed two pole master breaker. NEC code does not permit you to parallel a wire from breaker to breaker as each breaker can have only one wire attached to it. So I called my electrician friend for a solution. He said to use a 97624 Multi-Cable Insulated Connector and provided me a link to this one on Amazon. To make a long story short, it was the perfect solution.

Ordered the wrong model but it worked fine
Disclaimer: I don't speak electrician jargon so hopefully my language will be plain to other do-it-yourselfers. I made the mistake of thinking the three ports on this unit are isolated. They aren't. Any wire that goes in is live to the other 5 ports. So for example if you are simply splicing one (of the three) 6 gauge wires to another as I was when I moved my oven further away from the panel, you would need three of these. So i ordered two more of the Morris splicers designed for a single wire splice, 97103, which as it turned out were essentially the same price. Having said all that, the three splicers fit nicely into a 2 gang large capacity "blue" plastic outlet box. I expected a real battle getting the thick 6 gauge wire into the box and into the ports but it turned out to be relatively easy. Cover plate on top and job done!

Fire hazard
I used this to extend a 6 AWG cable to a 240 volt/50 amp welding outlet. Wired everything up like I've done for decades before, turned on the breaker - POW! A nice short between all 4 wires (hot, hot, neutral, ground). Traced everything meticulously with a meter, and found that - with all wires removed and totally by itself - this connector all by itself (with no wire attached), once the screws are tightened, shows a resistance of between 10 and 100 ohms between all ports. Loosen all screws, and there is infinite resistance across poles, as it should be. Out of the box, not adulterated in any way.I honestly believe that this just a fluke, based on the reviews and what it's made for. Still, it scared the hell out of me and could have been a serious fire hazard.

Work GREAT When Wire Nuts Won't
I extended a 240V 60 AMP circuit to include two outlets for my two pottery kilns. They don't make wire nuts for 6 gauge wire so I used the Morris Products wire connectors. Simple to use this quality product, but they are big so you will need to account for some extra size in your electrical box selection.

Easy to Use -- Securely & Safely Splices Larger Gauge Wires
Bought this "Insulated Multi-Cable Connector" for a small battery cable electrical project in my motorhome. This connector made simple work of splicing 4-awg wires, completing a clean, safe and reliable splice.

Solution to join AL and Copper Cables in older properties
This is a single bus connector. There are three cable entries on each side allowing cables to join as required. There is s tightening screw with a slot head and all entries have push in caps.Great product that solves an important problem when linking copper and AL wiring. I had 6awg and 10awg linked to link my cooktop and wall oven in a single box. This meets code although I added a Griund bus to the metal boxNicely made. Price good

Well made, NOT a splice block!
Think of this as a splitter, NOT a splice block. All 6 terminals are electrically connected internally. Use this to feed power in on one wire and send it back out over several others.

Excellent Product! Makes Splicing Connections Very Easy!
Used this on a recent 240v wiring project in my garage. This product made it very simple to splice wires together. Clean installation and is exactly as described. Thank you!
