1 Use copper or aluminum conductors rated to a minimum of 75°C.

2 Conductors must be the same size and material when terminating more than one conductor under these terminals.

3Double lugging is allowed only when conductors are paralleled (part of the same circuit) to increase ampacity for a single circuit.
