Does anyone know of a chart with a COMPREHENSIVE listing of the combinations
of wire sizes that can go in each color of wire nut?

I've done a google search but didn't find any such charts amoung the myriad
results.

I see that there are some capacities listed on the box when you buy a
certain color but I'd like something I could have on the computer which
gives as many combinations as possible and I could easily look up what I
need.

Maybe you've found your niche in life to create such an animal --

I would presume if you looked at the web sites of the various
manufacturers you would find the same information in forms from which
you could relatively easily construct such a table.

You can go to this web page, click on 'wire connectors' and than click on
each size and/or color to find a corresponding chart with wire sizes and
number of wires,
if that helps:

So I presume none yet exists?

As for basic information - it would help to have some idea who the
manufacturers are. If you have no idea, that's ok, just say so ;)
