Today I'm replacing wired smoke detectors with battery operated units because I don't like the idea of no electricity means no detection. These wired detectors used plastic connectors that organized the three wires together to be connected to a similar connector coming out of the ceiling. Usually when doing electrical work with light fixtures and such the wires from the ceiling get capped. But in this instance I've got the three wires in a plastic connector.
Question - Do these wires need to be removed and individually capped or can they remain in the plastic connector? If they need to come out I can manage that.
