Just a quick question

Joining two peices of 2.5 electrical cable using crimps and blue butts, is it OK to place this join behind plasterboard. Are there any regs regarding this?

Thanks :lol:
 
As long as the cable falls in one of the permitted cable route zones and the joint is double insulated (to the same volatge as the cable) then the answer is no there's not.
