any ideas ?

[dingledong]

Customer has marble steps in the garden ,in each step the upright to the step has 2 holes with looped t+e coming out of them . The hole is 12ml ish . The lights going into the holes are extra low voltage and the transformer is feeding the twin and earth day .
Now the question
Any ideas with what I could join the fittings to the t+e ? I believe under the slabs is poured
concrete so shouldn't be wet but it might become damp ? So I need a small connection to join them waterproof if possible

A wagon with a insulation tape ? Or material covered in we 40 ?
I am sure you have better ideas

Solder the joints then insulate with amalgamating tape.

Probably far too big

Denso!?
Crimps and sealant heatshrink?

Bits of terminal block and loads of that quick set concrete stuff in the mix.
Test the following day, job's a good un!

I'm with JimJimJim... Crimped connections and adhesive lined heat shrink tubing, probably a couple of layers at least.

 

[dingledong]

I knew you lot would do it

 

[shanky887614]

soldered connection for me with adhesive heatshrink over the top.

Done something similar about February used crimps wrapped in rescue tape and insulation tape and haven't had any problems yet (touch wood)

 

[joe.ninety]

If you can't get the adhesive lined HST, self amalgamating tape is also a good option. Just make sure you wrap it under real tension, space permitting of course.

Get them joints above ground ,else you will be asking for trouble.

 

[amckay]

Maybe a wago box/connector and some heatshrink?

Seeing as everyone has been very helpful with varied suggestions, I'm gonna say twist them together and put some chewing gum round them. Spearmint is best.

Nice, but you forgot about the foil wrapper as an earth shield.

 

[Andy78]

Nah, I need those for wrapping round blown13a fuses

Too fragile, I find a nicely shaped bottle top best.

Aye ... make a proper job of it.

 

[dingledong]

We lost a lot when they stopped making that cigarette foil
I could make a flower out of it

Feed cables through close fitting holes in mini potting box, crimp and fill with resin. Avoid soldering - tiniest amount of moisture penetrating will cause flux to attack joints over time.
