A good method of secure cable suspension, too.Lucky escape! found this in a ceiling void, nice VIR-PVC joint with crumbling insulation

was at a property the other week it still had led sheathed VRI cable for lights was surprised I got 20meg on IR testing, and no earth leakage - though VRI cable starting to deteriorate where it bends into connections at the switches.Lucky escape! found this in a ceiling void, nice VIR-PVC joint with crumbling insulation

Tell me that Crimp joint wasn't the finished 'signed off' job...Called by customer to help a flat was being part rewired after a flood - the chap doing it hasn’t come back - spent half a day trying to figure out ring main cables and sort out rerun cables - anyway found 3 crimped joints new onto old cable this is one of them …… had several joints like this…
By time I had finished rewriting there were no joined cables

Hi nope ‘half job’was still to be finished when I arrived 3 rooms still had old cables and original sockets. However, this was a finished joint as it was covered in insulating tape and tucked away under floor board - spotted when trying to trace ends of the ring main and figure out what had been done.Tell me that Crimp joint wasn't the finished 'signed off' job...
Nice to see he is careful to use the right crimping tool for the terminals !... found 3 crimped joints new onto old cable this is one of them …… had several joints like this…
