Problem!!!

[ldworks]

I recently installed a new 17th Edition Board but was for the council. Found a few things im not sure about,part of the ring main is connected thru the CU with thru crimps. The customer obviously didnt want to repair cables by putting new legs in but wondered if this is something that could be pulled by Elecsa if they check this peice of work??

As far as im aware there is no problem using through crimps to extend your cable as long as the crimps are accessable for inspection. Most sparkys stager them and add shrink tubeing to be extra safe.

Crimps are and acceptable method to join cables and DO NOT be available for inspection as they are classed as a permanent Fix...

personally i hate them, but each to there own!!

nothing to do with you really if thats how you found them, providing everything tests ok and the crimps are sound

Nothing wrong with crimps, use them a lot with heat shrink.
