Cooker Connection

[ic3y]

Hi Guys

I need to move my cooker 4 meters.
so my question is

Can the existing 6mm cable be joined by crimp and heat shrink (by a qualified electrician) to the new cable and buried in the wall then plastered.

the reason for doing this would be asthetic as the joining block and double blanking plate looks naff
and cupboards on wall would fall half way across it making it inaccessable anyway and there no more existing wire to bring it further down and that would look horrible too.

cheers guys

Jeff

I've even known some sparks to crimp cables that are two short to reach their final destination and "loose them" inside a conduit run, then argue that there's nothing wrong with it as long as they're crimped correctly lol

Whatever happed to the old saying ''measure Twice then measure again and Cut''!! ..lol!!

What if there was a repair to do in a long run of cable, which would take a long time to rip out and re-run? Daz

It's still around as far as I know, but not with some I fear, I worked on a conduit job a few years ago (2 year contract) not once did any of the 20 or so sparks need through crimps, if they'd of asked in the stores for them I'm afraid they'd of been given the "What For" and told to do the job properly.

Have you heard of Klippons (introducing a termination box) usually works lol

I have heard of various things, but I was interested to know why you shouldn't repair a cable inside a conduit run by the crimp and sleeve method. Daz

Its been replaced by the new saying 'common sense is a virtue' I'm afraid.
