Can it be used with aluminum house wiring?

Iam totally impressed with the light fixture.It far exceeded what i was looking for..I get a lot of compliments on it and how it brings a change to my kitchen.

No. You can use bare wire with the screw type terminals although they are fairly close together. I'd recommended banana plugs though.

Yes. You could be risking moisture on electrical components. Temperature controlled environment would be a better way to go.

my machine will run fine on 20 amp breaker on 50 ft. cord . amazing. You also can weld aluminum with this machine D.C. straight polarity with helium.

I don't think it can. You have to plug the fan to the lights and the wires get wired to your house fixture.

It is for soldering electrical wire. I do not think it would work for metal or aluminum.

I'm not an expert on the topic of electrical fences, but two factors would favor the aluminum wire in my mind: (1) Aluminum is about twice as conductive as carbon steel (http://chemistry.about.com/od/moleculescompounds/a/Table-Of-Electrical-Resistivity-And-Conductivity.htm), which might make the Al more cost-effective from an electricity consumption perspective. (2) The aluminum shouldn't corrode as badly as the steel, and you don't want a layer of rust on the outside of your electrical fence wires, as it will probably reduce the 'poke' it gives out. (The zinc galvanized layer on the steel probably won't help much, since I assume you're planning to power it with AC--every time the fence swings positive when it's wet, the zinc layer will etch away a bit, eventually exposing the steel underneath.)

In theory yes, but the surface would need to be very well prepped with SS wire brush, wiped well with acetone, and left horizontal for best fill/level until cured. It bonds very well to aluminum that has been heavily scuffed/roughed with SS wire brush...

Yes, but check your gauges, when you are using high amperage gauges of wire you might be outside the sizing of this tool. What the tool does is pretty simple, but might not work for really hard wire.

No you cannot use this box with poly wire. i have used this box with the alum wire as well as the high tension steel wire. I have noticed that if you only need to go a short distance, the alum wire is good b/c it's 14ga wire. however, if you need to go longer distances (over 2 acres with 4 wraps tall or more) the steel carries the current a lot better because with the high tension system you get the wire about 10 times tighter and the less slack you have in your system the more efficient it becomes.

Haven't tried aluminum, but 1/16 304 stainless sheets with .035 309 ss flux core wire seems to work well.

I don't think so, It shouldn't be an issue using your current wiring set up to disconnect and attach to this unit.

I havn't had a chance to try mine yet but I do agree completely with "FlickerKing's" answer. It should work fine. P.S. If you extend the length you maybe should use at least 18 guage stranded wire for better performance.

I've never tried, but probably not. For a dual-purpose gun that is used for electrical work as well as structural soldering, that would not be a particularly strong selling point. You are probably looking for welding or brazing tools, not soldering guns, if you want to actually melt wiring.

Have not tried it for your application. Hence, not sure. Should work it the copper is not finished.

I would imagine that if you can de-energize the wire and connect to it, you should be able to. However, if the low voltage wire is shielded, you would want to attach to the shield instead.

I didn't see it mentioned but almost for sure no. Look for dome transitioning solution to bond the al with cu before the wire nut
