innacessible joints

[brightspark2010]

if a joint is to be made under a floor wich is going to be deemed innaccessible can through crimping with the approriate tool in a cable clamped and mounted chocbox be the method of the join with normal solid core pvc/pvc twin and earth i have heard this is not acceptable any ideas

Yes you are right tel.I personally disagree with 526.3 though as these joints can become frail and loosen.

 

[telectrix]

every joint is accessible with a hammer, chisel and crowbar.

have to try them. funny how screw terminal junction boxes have been in use for over 100 years and now they are banned ( unless screwed to the surface of the client's expensive decor )

Never had a problem with them but many a time found faults at joints i.e loose connection at inaccessible joint boxes(more trouble than its worth. I suppose wago's sort this out.

wagos definitely do. better than crimps. you'd break the cable before a wago will let go ( bit like an ex-wife ). after all, through crimps were intended for stranded cable

what are these wago's everyone keeps mentioing?
