IIRC, aluminum in-wall wiring has been implicated in fires due to oxidation of wires where they attach to outlets. I would GUESS that this is a cya statement
Why outlet makers warn against aluminum wires?
Hi
I am looking for an answer as to why there are always warnings on high-end outlets regarding using them with aluminum wires?I use mine (Shunyata Venom) with al.wires and felt the quality jump right away compared to PS Audio i used before.Both outlets manuals say:Do not use with aluminum wires!Why?Thank You for your responses.
