If you use a changeover switch like the one in your other thread, you will not need to have a joint such as this.
I generally use an adaptable box with connector blocks of the correct rating inside, but I like to keep joints down to a minimum in all cases, especially with high currents.

Adaptable boxes are 40A. Otherwise a normal 60A joint box.
adaptable boxes don't have a current rating, there a bit of plastic, its the connectors you use thats important.

Adaptable boxes usually come with connectors supplied, which is why they are sold with a current rating.

I would say it's the other way around.
I can't remember ever having had an adaptable box supplied with connectors.

Terribly sorry chaps. I was referring to the plastic ones, not the metal ones. The plastic IP65 adaptable boxes come with current rated terminal strips which click into place. You can get 41A rated ones. Apologies for misleading you.
I haven't seen them in plastic adaptable boxes either.
Do you mean gewiss type boxes?

bah, beat me to it..
it's the "moulded IP65" boxes that most think of when you say adaptable boxes..
