There are several types of ties to connect drivers in residential electrical installations, although at an academic level they are usually taught almost all of them, in practice only a few are used.

4 Wire Ties for Residential Electrical Installations

 The 4 most common moorings to join wires in electrical installations are the following:

1. Pig's tail Also known as "rat tail". It consists of corking the ends of two wires with six turns. To be able to do this mooring we must leave approximately 2 cm in the tips of the wires, to give the termination of the mooring; These tips are bent "down and in" of the tie so that they do not tear the insulating tape.

2. Wester Union. It is very simple to do and has a lot of resistance to mechanical stress. This mooring consists of about six turns between two wires placed in a linear fashion.

3. Simple Derivation. It is a simple derivation, but made with force; It has at least four turns made with a wire derived, wound on another main.

4. Double Derivation. This derivation is very functional when you want to draw two more derivations from a single line. It is made in the form of a cross and at least four short turns are formed for each branch, to give strength to the mechanical tension.
