Hi all,
I am currently looking to move a DB from a small cupboard to the garage on the other side of the wall.
The problem I am facing as with a lot of cases is having to extend the cables as they won't be long enough to reach to new desired location.
When it comes to extending the cables what is the correct way to do so to stay within all the regulations? I am looking to make the joins under the floor in the cupboard and put an access hatch in the floor so it can be accessed any time but would like to know your thoughts on the correct method of joining and how to finish them off to be left?
Thanks in advance for any advice, much appreciated and hope I am in the right section for this question. Cheers.
 
Hi - have a look at Stummish's post #12 link. And if you browse about there's another din rail version that takes Wago lever connectors. Either could be ok. Or the top job you've listed would work.
