If the wires now come attached, can they be removed? I don't have extra room in my wall box for four more wire nuts.

No you cannot remove the wires and if you have to ask this question you should not be installing the switch you should be calling an electrician
1564292
The wires can't be removed. Not sure what kind of switch you currently have.
1564293
Not quite sure I understand your question. But, I remember taking the old switch off (it was a three gang box) and thought Whoa this will never fit!! Well I attached all wires and kept jamming it back in till it DID fit. I was so proud of myself I bought a second switch for a FOUR gang and installed that one too! I'm applying for an electricians license next week.

No. The wiring for this switch is very specific and also permanently affixed to the back side of the switch (there are only 3 wires, black wire - connects to the incoming black main power line (line), white wire -connects to BOTH the white nuetral line coming from the main power and the white neutral wire connecting to the light fixture, blue wire - connects to the black wire coming from the light fixture (load). If you are using this to replace an existing switch then you will only have 1 extra wire nut to worry about, not 4. Here is a link for the users manual with a picture of how the wiring is to be installed.http://www.manualslib.com/manual/531235/Honeywell-Rpls740b.html No. The wiring for this switch is very specific and also permanently affixed to the back side of the switch (there are only 3 wires, black wire - connects to the incoming black main power line (line), white wire -connects to BOTH the white nuetral line coming from the main power and the white neutral wire connecting to the light fixture, blue wire - connects to the black wire coming from the light fixture (load).

There are not poles/screws on this switch like a standard wall switch. The wires that come with it are in place of the poles so you will need to use wire nuts to install this switch. Since this is an electronic switch and not a mechanical switch the wires are required. Hope this helps.

Keep your wires long, then push them down into slots w Very small screwdriver or similar, then trim ends of wires off

Just strip a little extra wire, insert it and tighten from the top. No need to disassemble.

Yes. You can cut them with wire cutters. They are flexible. The base that holds the wires are predrilled. You can use screws when applicable to hold the section in place

Yes it is, we had the same problem. It just takes a pair of pliers or cutters to remove the longer links. Then you need to cut down the excess wire, but it is easy if you have any experience with wiring at all. The usual trim it to fit, then carefully cut back the plastic coating to expose the length of wire you will need to wire it to the ceiling mount.

My first suggestion is to contact distributor whose name and address is found in packing. The second is take sampleof threaded stud and knurled nut(decorative) to ACE or other retail store for matching. These threaded studs & nutsare commonly used in mounting wall electrical fixtures.(They are not rare or hard to find! Just inconvenient!)

As I remember, the wires are sticking out from the enclosure. In any case... Wiring these is really simple.

If you are using existing system shouldn't need wire.I did go to hardware store for ends as existing were soldered

Yes they can. It would be easy with a little wire cutter (pair of pliers has a cutting edge or just use it to pry). Don't need a wire cutter. Just pry the thin metal connecters and remove.

Wires are only about 1/4 - 5/8 inch apart so there isn't a way for them to escape unless the tubes aren't attached properly on the sides. Just remember to push down till you hear/feel it click into place.

You don't have to have them if you want to splice wires. I will say the ones I purchased was well worth the few dollars they cost. I will say that one of the adapters fit was very tight so I had to work it just a little bit. none the less it was still worth the purchase price for the amount of time it saved.

Yes.. the only drawback is you would have to cut them once you wanted to remove the cables. There are other things such as regular wire tie or velcro that you can use that are easily removable

Yes. It's just a wire hook basically. If you don't want it there you can just remove it.

You can add another wire the wire is removable. I have removed the wire to cut through a block of cheese. I repurchased item originally had returned it.

Depending on the application, you can either solder or crimp the wires. I chose to solder. The only tool really required was a small needle nose pliers.

You sure can use them on the back of the unit, however they are not required. You can just unscrew the colored-nuts the place the twisted wire into the hole and tighten the nuts. Hope this helps )

I am not experienced with doing so because it comes with it. So I would have to strip the wire and add a new one. Which wouldn't look as nice. In all, pretty hard to replace.
