Two of the three conductors look a bit too close to each other but that could just be the camera angle.

Move your screen slightly to one side

Thought this was nice, sub main to a dwelling

Typical farm install.

Just to replace a socket.

First time I’ve walked away from a job. I’m not touching it until they agree to some upgrading.

I would be more worried about being invited to a place with that bottle of 'Superlube' in the foreground

Bet it was a nice one install originally when it was done.

I didn’t have time to read the bottles… but trust you to notice that.
There were mummy sheep in the shed.

So, a bottle of Superlube and a room full of sheep. When did you move to Wales?

Got a phone call the other day. I’d repaired a cable which I think I posted in this thread a while back. It was next to a gas boiler and had exposed copper.

Anyway they had a plumber out as the boiler needed replacing.

Said plumber told the tenants that the repair was dangerous as it should be in a junction box. So they rang the landlord who then rang me. Spoke to landlord and said I’d go and take a look but can guarantee it wasn’t a dangerous repair.

Photo attached of the repair I did.

Each conductor individually crimped, the cable is double heat shrink covered. And it was clipped back, I just pulled it forward to check it (and get a pic) and clipped it back again.

Can anyone explain what’s dangerous as I’m at a loss?

I did tell the plumber to stick to pipes and leave the magic to me.

He's probably assumed it's just been twisted together and taped/sleeved. I suppose it's good to be on the safe side. As long as he listens to you and updates his awareness then all is OK I suppose.

As long as he learns and doesn't presume that every in line joint is done to that standard and can recognise so.

I’d of put it in a joint box. Just saying.

Those screw heads look well-used.

Perhaps an early adopter of the impact driver but what an idiot.

Or maybe a little bypass now and again
