Extending a rising main?

[shanky887614]

How do you secure a butt crimp with a single crimp, be it an indent crimping tool or otherwise??
All our long shank cable lugs for both LV and MV terminations on cables 50mm and over all get double indent crimped!!

who said anything about butt crimp

i was refering to how i crimp bootlace ferrules by double drimp i mean crimp it with 1mm on crimps the same ferrule at next size down.

and with lugs i do 2/3 next to each other (this is what was using on lthw pump)

get a trician to have a look any one who can cover that type of joint in PVC is a numpty and cant be trusted to be capable or a competent person .(PVC tape guys we have stopped calling it insulation tape...cos its not)...however, it might be servicable after another crimp and double sleeving with heatshrink.

Have we established what mechanical protection these cables have yet and are the supported if it's a vertical run?

Welcome to the forum.
