I like this answer as well , I bet you wouldn't of even asked the question.Back to the OP, what load is there going to be on the new sockets? If its small I'd do a spur from the CU to a FCU, then to the sockets. Far better IMHO
crimped lots of cables on house bashing, never had any problem, good ratchet crimper and insulated blue crimps do the job for 2.5 cable. its not nasa, those cables wont fly to space.
you can stick them in some wago too.
How many people on here would crimp a lug on a piece of MICC ?
Where would you use crimps house bashing?
Where would you use crimps house bashing?
Only place I would use crimps and lugs when hoose bashing would be on the bonding conductors or at the rod if its a TT
Well on this occasion we will agree to disagree as i have alot of respect for your input on this forum but out of interest il set you a task of finding a picture of butt crimps or even ring lugs on the internet done on solid cable (without taking a pic yourself and cheating)...I found examples of poor crimps and bad practices but all are shown using stranded or fine wire ...out of the whole world wide web you'd have thought if it was so designed for solid there would be at least some examples of crimping it?
well darkwood is technically,correct, but who on here does everthing by the book?
sorry, do you mean you use materials for jobs that they are not intended for?
I'd stick with your ''screwed'' connectors they will surely out perform a ''crimped'' connection!! Well in your world anyway!! lol!!
