JB

what kind of JB do you normally use for extending a power circuit, when the JB is going to be under the floor boards.

What maintance free JB do you use?

Ashley (Hager) do nice mf jbs. Personally though I would always make crimping my first choice.

what about the use of waggo's?

what about the use of waggo's?

Can do if you want to...

These are 41amp rate..

2.5mm to 6.0mm conductors!

just bung it in any suitable enclosure..

e.g. adaptable box or the puka wago box enclosure

providing you ensure some strain relief on the cables!

I still use old fashioned JBs under floorboards , never had any problem with them .

Can't remember ever doing a joint in an inaccessible place, other than fitting a box with a blank cover for instance.

I never use JB's.

Crimp and shrink.

If just extending a cable I tend to crimp and either use self amalgamating tape or a box.

If a spur off is needed where inaccessible in the past I have soldered the joint, wrapped and enclosed.

I've not used the maintenance free JB's - being able to rotate a cable after insertion in a wago or similar doesn't sit quite right with me - but that's the Luddite in me. I still don't understand how push fit plumbing stuff works - but it does!
