Thanks guys
It is interesting that there is no definative reg on this, as I am sure it crops up loads. (The example I gave was simply a possible situation I may be faced with at some point).
Jason, I am very interested in the Ashley JB you mentioned and would be grateful of more info if you have any. Also, if JB's are no longer allowed to be positioned where they are not accessible, are there any other suppliers that offer neat solutions?
Interestingly my tutor at college says he would never crimp hard drawn cable either but use a connector instead. I suppose the down side to that is, it would be significantly larger and therefore require deeper recess to plaster over (should you decide to).
It would be good to hear what NIC, Elesca etc have to say on this issue.
Thanks again for your help and I will post again, if I receive 'official' guidelines!
Cheers
Lister - If soldering and heatshrink are acceptable methods according to your NIC man, do you know if they have anything in writing to confirm?
Thanks Dufjax,
Seems mad that the regs are written to improve safety but the insurance companies do not recognise that eh?
Red Book on order, so will refer to it when it arrives. Great bedtime reading I bet?
Cheers
I think it's to do with you burning the place down and not the electrical safety aspect of brazing.
Jim
