I am installing a 6 zone Lutron Grafik Eye controller and trying to figure out how to connect 7 12 ga neutrals and 7 12 ga grounds. The largest wire nut that I can find, Ideal Industries 454 wire nut, can bond 6, not 7 wires. I can probably sneak an extra wire in the big wire nut, but I would prefer to keep it honest. Ideal makes a push in connector that can connect 8 wires. However, I am not sold on push in connectors. Moreover, I would have to buy a jar of 100, when I only need 2. Polaris makes some stout connectors, but their unit price is >$30 each.
So what's the proper way to do it while not breaking the bank?
