That sounds like the definition of "braid", not splice.
Where are you getting that definition from? It's not from NEC.

NEC does not define the word SPLICE. It does use the word "splice" by "listed devices", but Twist-On connectors (proper NEC of a Wire Nut) is not listed for wet, damp, or where exposed to UV locations.

Smart man, know you now why I duct most DIY code and safety questions. Let someone else tell them the wrong information, so when they burn down their homes they can go to the Forum Administrator and who gave them bad advice for liability law suit. It has happened before and will happen again. Mike Holt has had to buy a house or two. That is why that Forum is only open to licensed professionals.

Not to mention you have a P.E. license and reputation to consider.

Yeah if my stamp is on anything makes me liable in any court. However my comment is based on experience. The Forum owner can be held liable for bad information given on this forum. Not only Liable but can also held accountable for Slander and Malice. Some people seem to think Free Speech means they can say anything they want. That is far from reality.

I know it has been a while... but is the recommendation when making a splice in an outdoor rated j-box to use Unitaps? Any thoughts on Polaris . I will be transitioning from pv wire to thhn on the roof.

soladeck? It would give you sealed roof penetration besides just transition point.
