How do you connect a 10 gauge wire to an 8 gauge wire?

Connecting different gauge wires are just like connecting wires of the same gauge. Connect the wires just as you normally would, and then once the you attach the wire nut, give the thinner wire a slight tug to make sure the wire is securely fastened. Usually when attaching fixtures, they are generally stranded wires. Be sure to twist the strands together before twisting them onto the solid wire. Then attach the nut onto them and tighten it securely. Connecting different gauge wires are just like connecting wires of the same gauge.
