Is it ok to use wire taps on all connections for any alarm?

You can use whatever you want to tie in an alarm. However from a longevity (sp?) stand point t-taps and scotchlocks are not a good way to go.

only lazy ppl use tap, and it cuts into the wires, so when u take it out in the future, the wire is connected by a thread. so take the extra time to wire them!

yea solder and tape is the best way to go but i did alarms for many years using T Taps and never saw anything bad come from it as long as you make sure everything is connected correctly. good call on not using scotch locks they suck and i hate them.

Solder and good tape, I use only super33 or super 88 it is flexible and it adheres better even when cold.
