I know...and it's not good.......but it's not plastered in the wall. How long ago was it done, was it a good connection and how long has it lasted? 25 years ago, I'd have used through crimps....so what?
What's wrong with ply....compared with timber and plasterboard?
Thing is, nobody knows do they. If I got some 'arching or sparking', where could it be happening, that's the issue with all these joints when there's a problem, like countless threads we've had here.[/QUOTE]
I know what you're saying but that's how things were done then. If it was done DIY there would be more chance of problems than if it was by someone who knew their job.
You've come across it. Would you say it's a bad connection? No access, I know, but there was no regulation insisting upon it.
Current requirements take into account (much more) for the interference of the lesser qualified or, to some extent, the non qualified. Hence, I feel, the market for upgraded methods of connection has risen.
A generation before that you could have found porcelain 'screwits' on vir, which I personally hate....but methods evolve.
