Re: Aluminum Wire
Besides the fact that it is in the rules, and it is not to be questioned.. lol

This is a good enough reason for me.

Quote:
During the 1970's, aluminum (instead of copper) wiring became
quite popular and was extensively used. Since that time,
aluminum wiring has been implicated in a number of house fires,
and most jurisdictions no longer permit it in new installations.
We recommend, even if you're allowed to, that do not use it for new
wiring.
