just thought it would matter if the person dealing with the protection wasn,t aware of the 50/35 joint
Time for another label/notice at the point of protection, that the UK seems to love so much!! lol!!

don,t get a cheap thro. joint go for prysmain (pirelli) or 3M and get mechanical connectors (shear bolts)
trust you to go against the grain...Didn’t say I don’t trust mechanical connections, I’ve just never used them, I’ve seen DNO jointers using them.
OK I’m a dinosaur.
With compound joints crimps are a No No. Compound is constantly on the move and will creep in to a crimped connection, degrading it.
I did my jointing training with EMEB, they were adamant crimps shouldn’t be used. The last 11KV termination I did the manager insisted I used crimped lugs. OK I did, while his back was turned I ran solder in to them. Now with resin joints that problem is a thing of the past, once set it doesn’t move.
Out of interest, anyone tried to break a resin joint? I put one on the anvil and gave it a tap with a sledge hammer. The hammer bounced off. Pity they didn’t comply with M&Q.
and you did rite Aiden...No way you could get away with doing any hot joints on a site these days!, crimped or mechanical only, it's grief enough sneaking a grinder on site! ( I cut all me containment with one!) crimped joints are spot on but if I had to joint two different sizes it would always be mechanical with snap off bolts. They are also standard issue to the DNO so I trust em!
does this mean every lass should now have a label attached to her pants?Time for another label/notice at the point of protection, that the UK seems to love so much!! lol!!
