Suggestions for new house dedicated power set-up

Never use silver paste. Only use Caig Deoxit D100 to clean and G100 for final finish. Use the DN5S-2N to spray down parts in a existing panel, duplex etc.

Not NEC means its not to code and wont pass inspection. And if there were a fire, an insurance company could say it was parts used in a way not intended to be used.

I am noting how I modified the part, so that one no no. Then I am using it in a place not intended. Another no no. I have done it at my home as I am using a part that is designed to hold 2 x#10 wires. And it clamps very secure and solid. The issue is its made to hold those 2 x #10 wire when screwed to the can of a metal splice box. Not in free air with tape around it. And you sawed the end off.

Oddly it wraps extremely well in the box. What I mean is, a through splice that runs in one direction, tucks back into the box well and allows wire packing that is clean wirh no kinks. Don't ever kink your wire. Your destroying the internal structure of the wire. When you kink a wire, you significantly reduce its current carying capacity. All box fill should look like this.
