Awesome thanks. how would you do it in your area?I do not know about CA code, but if that's so, a gray or blue/gray wirenut will do. Also, you can bundle several + a jumper under 1 wirenuts and use the jumper and the remaining in another wirenut.
Not this again. The above is patently untrue. The listed fastener is required to make a gas-tight connection. Twisting alone will not do this.Put a nut on, but it should not be relied on to make the connection, the twisting does that
The OP has 10 grounds. Two groups will be needed.I would do the grounds all together.
Breaking the grounds up in groups runs a risk of the jumper being broken or disconnected.
A blue wire nut is good for 6 - 14 gauge wires.
There is no more risk of a jumper breaking than there is of any of the EGCs breaking. The EGCs often break inside insulation or inside wire nuts. Either is rather hard to spot until after the devices are installed and a circuit tester is applied.I would do the grounds all together.

With a plastic box such as the Discussion Starter has it only needs to be fastened in place. Since many of of those busbars are listed for 3 EGCs in each terminal the shortest ones commonly sold are more than enough for the use. Using a busbar for the EGCs makes an elegant and professional looking installation.I have a 4 gang box plastic and a need to connect 10, 14 awg ground wires.
Ground crimp terminals are compliant for solid or stranded wires.Crimping is for stranded wires only.
I like this idea, seems very clean. Going to see if I can find something that would work.There is no more risk of a jumper breaking than there is of any of the EGCs breaking.

An easy but seldom used way to connect multiple Equipment Grounding Conductors in a large electrical box is to install a small add on EGC busbar in the box. Some of the smaller accessory busbars that are made for installation in panel cabinets and other equipment enclosures are also listed for use in electrical boxes. A metal box must be thick enough to engage 2 full threads of the mounting screw or screws. At 32 threads per inch that only takes a 16th of an inch of wall thickness. Most electrical boxes are thicker walled than that.

California so NECDoes CA stand for Canada or California? Canada has different codes, but does California?
Nope, California also has the CEC: California Electrical Code. It's a rather formal mod over the 2017 NEC .I believe California has a version of the NEC. Canada has the CEC.

The only mod to the 2017NEC is the inclusion of the CA Energy Code. Otherwise it's 2017NEC word for word ,Nope, California also has the CEC: California Electrical Code. It's a rather formal mod over the 2017 NEC .
