joining 10mm

[stefan861]

can you join 10mm twin and earth? and what with please

It depends where the joint is.

You can use 10mm crimps or a 10mm junction box. Although straight joints are a last resort where cables can't be replaced.

You can also wire in an accessory at the joint.

Where is the joint exactly?

 

[stefan861]

its for my shower the current cable from the pull switch is about 8 ft to short,as im moving my shower into the corner of the room and the price of cable

if the joint is accessible you can use a 'click' 60 amp 3 terminal junction box...wa220 white
wa222 black
you will probably need a decent electrical wholesaler.

If it's only the run from the switch to the shower and it is easily accessible then you should really replace it...

 

[ColJack]

in your curcumstance I'd say no you can't..
run a new piece from the switch..
do the job properly..
oh and PART P.. ( check the WIKI for more info )
you need to notify the LABC before you start work, and pay the fee.
or get a registered sparky to do it for you..

Trying to join the cable sounds like one of those jobs where you end up spending £20 on saving yourself a fiver, and ending up with a second rate job to boot.

 

[ColJack]

sounds more like saving a fiver and burning the house down..

do it properly..

 

[stefan861]
