Hi, I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
I'm looking to permanently remove a double wall socket, that was added to the house a few years ago.
After some investigation, I found that the (single) cable for the new socket goes off under the floor boards to a location I don't think I'll easily have access to.
I was wondering if i could just remove the cable from the socket box (technical term????), and terminate it somehow, leaving it under the floor boards?
Some one has given me what looks like a simple connector for connecting 2 pieces of (3 wire) cable (like this) and suggested i wire the cable into one side, and then possibly wrap up with electrical tape and then leave it all in tact under the floor boards. Does this sound a suitable/safe solution?
