The discussion revolves around the method of connecting two single-pole, single-throw (S.P.S.T) switches to a single hot wire, specifically whether this method is referred to as "pig tail" wiring. Participants explore the implications of splitting power from one hot wire to two switches.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the terminology used for the wiring method, and there is uncertainty regarding the implications of the approach discussed.
There are limitations regarding the clarity of the wiring method, as no schematic or visual representation is provided, and the background knowledge of participants varies.
Individuals interested in electrical wiring techniques, particularly those exploring methods for connecting multiple switches to a single power source.
biferi said:If I have two S.P.S.T Switches and I have one Hot Wire but I want both Switches to get power at the same time I can do this.
I take my one Hot Wire and put a Wire Nut on it then connect two Wires to that same Wire Nut.
Is this called a Pig Tail?
Thanks

I just ment if you take One Hot Black Wire and put it into a Wire Nut and then have two Wire coming out of that same Wire Nut it will split the Current.
And Both Wires coming out of the Wire Nut will have Power.
I thought this is a pig tail?
