I bought an RP625 crimp tool from TLC recently and tried it out and I have been very unimpressed with the way it crimps on the lug. Although it won't pull off, when the lug is crimped on there seems to be a gap on either side of the conductor. I have only tested it on 16mm lugs so far so I can't...
Hi.
I'm just starting out on my own and really appreciate the advice given here.
I'm installing my C/U (eventually to be used for my NICEIC assessment) and I need to extend all cables 30cms max. I've done lots or research and decided to crimp them and locate within an adaptable box.
I don't...
Any one know a company (West Midlands area) that services hydraulics crimping tools. Mines starting sticking and not releasing enough to get the cable back out.
I have taken it apart and cleaned it and it all looks super smooth but still sticks intermittently even with the dies empty. Would...
are we allowed to? what do the regs say in regards to this? maintenance free joint (so crimp or even a wago?) and would the joint then have to be in an ip box? or can we just slap half a roll of tape round it? all of this before the plaster bonding is applied?
Evening all,
Ive got a 16way board to change next week and ill be fitting a new CU with all circuits on RCBO protection.
Im expecting it to get very busy in there so I want to shorten the flying neutrals rather than leaving them bunched up.
Do you guys have any recommendations on a crimping...
Another quiet day today so a bit of retail therapy was in order - this time on a bootlace ferrule crimper. Here he is with his first 6mm crimp. I'm hoping he'll settle into the toolbox in the next few days 'cause he seems a bit stroppy tonight. Maybe it's just me ...
I am about to connect up my 12V battery to my inverter (at last!) and I need to crimp some copper tube terminals on to the end of the cable. I have purchased an indent crimper for these tube terminals but I notice it is different to my crimping tool for insulated crimps. The stem of tube...
Hi there,
Ibought this 12V socket plug to install extra for my phone charger, is there any connectors which I can use to add for current plug wire, so I don't need to take apart the current wire? picture how it looks - http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTQxNlgxNDQw/z/5hEAAOSwKtlWl~ur/$_57.JPG
I have...
Hi, I don't manage to find crimp connectors (spade, bullet, etc) with a stated IP rating. Do they exist, and if yes where do you find them?
I'm thinking of using IP56 spade connectors for a tunnel light on a narrow boat.

by the way thats 70mm cable 3phase. they wanted that because the villa is supposedly very big and takes a lot of power
I have looked for current rating for crimp terminals. I've checked some 5-10 suppliers, none of them say what the current rating for any of their terminals are.
I'm guessing they're meant to be able to handle the capacity of the maximum size cables that can fit into them? I'd prefer to know...
High quality crimp tool and die set. Comes with a carrying case. The set is in excellent condition.
This is a compact set with all dies From 16, 25, 35, 50, 70, 95, 120
Set was £650 new, looking for £300 Ono.
Maximum ID for 2mm2 wire crimp
Does anyone know what the maximum Id would be. We are using CE5 connectors, but different suppliers suggest completely different wire sizes as suitable.
Can anyone tell me what the CSA of the small earth tail and neutral are one an Single module RCBOs, the ones in question I'm looking at are the new Schneider Acti 9s but seems to be of same size on most RCBOs. Just wondered as i haven't got any on hand currently.
This is so i can buy the right...
Can you get a 10mm crimp , got a inverter to fit in my caravan . I'm adding a inline fuse but can't find a crimp anywhere .
so it a case of sticking a inline box in
Has anyone got (or know where to get) a pyro crimp tool (20mm pots)?
Preferably cheap as it isn't something I expect to use often but I need one by the weekend ;)
Ta.
Hi all,
I have a new 17th edition spec CU to install, replacing a BS3036 fused box. As there is no floor up or re-wiring allowed (unless there is a horror story from the PIR (being performed first), I may have to use the existing circuit conductors. My question is on the extension of these...
