Joining two 16mm twin and earth's together?

[Bob Geldoff1234]

Hi,I need to extend a 16mm twin and earth sub main cable and was wondering what the best method was for joining them together so they are safe and enclosed?

Crimps, heat shrink sleaving and a suitable enclosure

Agree, apart from the spelling lol

60A junction box will do nicely.

DIN rail terminals or copper tube butt crimps in an adaptable box with glands.

In a cupboard most likely.The 16mm cables feed 3 flats which went into a single phase board.3 phase has now been installed approx 10 feet away.I need to extend the 16mm's to the new isolators.

Think I would do something like Lucien suggested. I’d source an electrical enclosure with din rail, and din rail connectors etc. Some Wiska or Sprint glands for flat cables.
