Coil Push-in Vs Screw-in Connectors

Mike H,
Thanks for the info.

I have a F5 with the push in. I know some people have had problems with the push in but so far mine has worked great. I have no reason to switch to the screw in connector.

I have an F2 with the screw in connector, its REALLY hard to get it screwed down because the design of the control housing was for a push-in so there isn't enough room to get your fingers around the ring enough to even turn it, much less snug it down. If First Texas wanted to re-design the connector then they fell short by not doing something with the control housing, but I know what the reply will be to this, "It would add to much to the production cost"

Oh, well.

I put a small strip of rubberized tape around the nut makes it a lot easier to grip.
