How do you do it

[the pict]

A persistent ballache, Joining T&E to SWA I have tried various methods and all work, metal enclosures, wiskas, butt joints , henlys in boxes , is there a way I have not thought of ? a resin enclosure with a flat end and a round end, and please if you cant think of something do not resort to puerile slagging, you are not 14 and on facegram or instabook

for small stuff...upto 6mmm, i always use a wiska box or similar. bigger cables would be henlys in a suitable enclosure. occasionally done a soldered joint with heat shrink inside the property. if i was working in america, i would, of course, use fire wire nuts.

Cheers I have a issue with a 10mm T&E installed by the builder through a stone wall its getting changed to SWA dropping from the attic "eventually" I just need to get it connected for a campsite bothy to allow the job to progress a bit

10mm you need decent connectors in a box. i can only recommend henleys.don't think wagos will cope.

what you mean I cant splay out the strands and wago each one, bugger that was my bright idea of the day

 

[telectrix]

a good hammer save splaying out too many strands.

I like resin joints, you can usually cut the end of the shell to suit the shape of the cable. Then seal it up with putty/ deso/ whatever. Remember the shell is just there to hold the resin until it sets.

Yeah thats an idea and I have one in the van cheers I will sus it out tomorrow

Also if you use a bigger shell you have more room to make connections, costs a bit more in resin but less swearing.

10mm SWA you say ?

How about a large Wiska box and some 10mm through crimps ?

Wiska box with SWA gland plate.

OK for L an N....but different size earths. Use the earth bolt, though. Best way for me.

Wiska box or similar with dinrail and dinrail connectors would be my choice at 10mm.

If it is going to be inaccessible, resin joint every time, but like the OP have tried various methods!
Doesn't have to be a conventional underground joint kit a wiska or similar filled with resin will do!

All the above intrigue me; anyone got pictures of the above? I'm all for learning those handy little nuggets
