Swa extension

[SUNRAY]

What sort of "wago device" can join the armour of SWA?

There have been sooo many threads containing such boxes.

Fair enough. Could you perhaps remind me of one?

Wish I'd never asked now

Unfortunately that is an occupational hazard in the electrical environment as there are so many options.
Sure at one time the only method considered for joining SWA underground was the resin filled joint but now there is a jelly product which can basically be used to fill a joint enclosure to prevent moisture getting to the wires and terminals.

Typically a wiska box: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WK206B.html? and magic gel: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WKMP0030W.html examples only and I haven't included the accessories required

I know all about (and have even used) "magic gel", but that's not what I was asking you about ...

I asked you what sort of 'wago device' could join the armour of two bits of SWA, and that's the question to which I'd be interested to hear an answer.

With respect, I'm trying to offer some very basic advice to the upset OP, I assume all of the regulars on here are aware of various methods of terminating SWA.

I realise what you have been trying to do and, if you will believe it, I was trying to help - since I thought that 'the upset OP' might be confused by the apparent suggestion that some sort of Wago connector could join the armour (as well as other conductors) of SWA.

Not o level, but simple, basic English, and an attempt at punctuation, helps make your question clear for the reader. What you wrote, didn't even pose a rational question.

You are not being trolled, you are simply being asked to read through what you write, and check the meaning, and the question is clear.

You have trolled him again .... its up to him how he asks a question, not you or I.

Whilst that is obviously true, he would be much more likely to get a useful answer if we could understand the question.

Sister don't use forums needs sŵa extension for new detached annexe replacing old one electrician told her he'll use gel filled joint, quick and easy, presumably they'll last for ages

Plenty of commercial grade connectors available

The writer of the question, ought to at least put in as much effort as the hoped for answer.
