Joining 10mm

[Couleddie]

Need to extend a shower circuit. 10mm T&E. Join will be inaccessible. Wagos not big enough. What's the best way to ensure compliance?

 

[Lurch]

Crimp or braze.

You can get crimp connections for 10mm and heat shrink sleeving, this would make a good joint, if tou do not want to use heat shrink use compression tape.

 

[Couleddie]

Thanks guys. Didn't know you could get crimps to fit 10mm.

 

[Lurch]

I've fitted crimps to 120mm+ cables. You can get them to fit just about any shape, size and material type of cable available.

Like Lurch says crimps come in all sizes, I have a hydrolic crimper for the big stuff.

maybe not the best solution but you could use a 60amp junction box

Non-compliant. OP states that it is inaccessible.

I prefer one of these.

LOL if that is ever a text talk I apologise but under the circumstances I think appropiate.

iirc, that rubber tape is not designed for insulation purposes. scotch 38 tape is though (and more expensive). from past experience with it (i have used it), i would not use that on its own
