Choc boxes in the back of sockets

[sparks1234]

No problem with a connector block as long as you have the room available, its probably less likely to fail than a through crimp.

my gaffer told me we got pulled on having chock block in the back of a switch box by the NIC inspection and that it must be a sealed connection i.e wago or crimp etc.

I can see why they would say that actually, but I still wouldn't use crimps on solids. Wagos I wouldn't have a problem with though.

Got called to a job yesterday to check 8 double sockets in a bedroom that had been installed by a bloke he knows a couple of months ago. As the room is going to be used for work and is going to have a couple of people working in there he wanted to make sure its safe.

To cut a long story short the fella has extended the ring to these 8 sockets however he has used choc boxes in two of the sockets to extend the cable.

Question is, is this aloud ? if not what would be the solution to extend the cable, when the floors are solid wood ! does not look pretty would be best to crimp ?

Any ideas ??

How do you get one of these.......
