Default Crimping wires together
I have 2 20 ga wires going to the same connection. Is it an acceptable practise to crimp them both into the same terminal?

Here?s a link to Bob?s notes at the Aero Electric Connection. Hopefully this is helpful. You should be fine with 2 wires to a single connection.
