Second this, I cannot tell you how many problems are associated with these 'vibrating' either loosening or opening. Also, the dissimilar metals (copper to the aluminum tap) tend to corrode and cause hot spots when resistance builds up over time (due to weather/humidity). Splice either by an approved soldering, or cutting/twisting/crimping, and sealing. Guarantee a reliable connection!
