Any one else agree these red crimps look cap

What do guys normally use to extend cables when required??
Wouldn't it make for a better and tidier looking job to pull legs out of board and use a mf fitting and new legs into boards rather than crimps that look absolutely crap

 

[SparkyChick]

I usually use Ideal's In-line splices for such things in boards (up to 2.5mm CSA) and after that the 2.5-6mm CSA Wagos.

if it's just a few need extendin, e.g. the cpc's are too short, i use ideal in line connectors in CU. if it;s a lot, then an adaptable din rail box, as in one i made earlier (see the blue peter connection). the cpc of the 6.0mm was re=routed after the photo.

Nice idea tel

I love doing these sort of domestics , they are right in my wheel house as a house badger.
Usually an IP box or Adaptable box like Tel is a very neat solution to multiple extensions to a new position.
If not I will fit the biggest board possible and use in line push connectors to lengthen cables and try to hid the joins behind the mcbs

Either way if I saw the consumers unit in the OP , I would be ripping the whole lot out and starting again...
