Are WAGO lever connectors approved for use in the US with #12 and #10 solid aluminum wire with the WAGO joint compound. The use would be for copper pigtailing of aluminum wiring.

You might want to revise this to ask about specific connectors by part number. The first and only one I looked up the data for was approved for copper only. It seems WAGO has a website that very specific, you should be able to find this information.– TysonNov 14, 2016 at 2:16

Thanks for looking this up. I finally found the information in the WAGO online catalog. Copper only for WAGO 222- and limited to 12AWG which would exclude its use for pigtailing 20-A circuits with 10 AWG aluminum.– Jim StewartNov 15, 2016 at 20:27

I finally found it in the WAGO online catalog WAGO 222-413 lever connector is listed for copper. There is no reference to aluminum. WAGO sells a joint compound in a syringe for injecting into these connectors and this made me hope that they were listed for solid aluminum, but it seems not so. I think it would work, but if it's not listed then one cannot use it for pigtailing aluminum wiring.
