[QUOTE="kerching, post: 528300, member: 11861"] Badly thought out and installed, but what do I know!...I am neither "retired" nor "once asked to teach" Unless things have changed I believe that most connector strips are non compliant anyway. There is a Reg stating "joints in cables should not lessen the integrity of the cable/insulation" or similar wording. Most connector strip is insulated with polyethylene which has a lower melting point than PVC insulation so thus non compliant....not a lot of people know that! Nylon 6-6 insulation is compliant In brief....do it with Wagos [/QUOTE]
