What would you guys say about this connections ? Crimped together then heat-shrink over it. I want to say that if they just added another sleeve over it all to cover the single cores it would be ok ? Or what are your guys thoughts. Wanting to know as I now have to add extra down-lighters thats the same to this installation.
The person who i sue to do my COC's on occassion would fail it for 2 reason ... 1 no connector on the earth and the other exposed wiring.
I take a piece of 25 mm PVC pipe glue pushin glands on either side and bingo you have a joint protected ... or just use a coupling with 2 pushin glands.
I use this method on flood light with those silly short 100 mm tails ...like radiant sells at ARB for around R60.

Thanks for the tip, Ian. Tried your idea today. Simple, yet brilliant. Will use it for downlights as well in future.Originally Posted by ians

To make a mistake is human, to learn from that mistake is knowledge and knowledge is strength.
Hello brother. What, if I may ask, makes it illegal ? The connections inside are crimped with ferrules with heatshrink as insulation.
Peace out ... Derek
6.3.7.2 b is a good place to start. There are others.....

This is the kinda topic i enjoy discussing...
Lets put the regs aside and look at it from a practical angle.
What makes it illegal ... just because it is in a piece of pipe ... I want to know what makes using this method dangerous?
Please explain to me why the regulations states you cannot make joints in a elbow ... I know the answer ... but lets see if everyone else understands why these rules where made and how long ago they were make ... this is 20 th century very few people still install conduit and wiring.

Forgot about the earth wire. Would also just crimp it with a ferrule.
