piano wiring in cu

I have always been led to believe that thru crimps were not allowed on solid cores, only on stranded cables.
Thru crimps do look better but I use connectors on solid cores.

Thats a very good point, I was (probably wrongly) looking at it from a non domestic point of view. Is there any guidance on this, rather than just good practice/personal opinion?

who say,s you cant crimp solid cores ? check out through joints from pyrotenax they use uninsulated thro.crimps,uninsulated crimps seem to be made to a finer tollerence therefor are a better fit,just need a bit of heat shrink to finish

I use selotape, that way you can see the wires twisted together properly

Dont think there is anything written down about thru crimps, I was always told not to use them on solid cores.
Maybe they were frowned apon in the days before ratchet crimpers.
Also found this post by whattsup on the matter.

Yes, without a doubt, Wago's do it every time. Into a suitable enclosure with the required warning sticker. I believe you can get a Wago box with an internal DIN rail to mount the connectors.
