Any one else agree these red crimps look cap

 

[rustynails]

The whole lot is cap

 

[telectrix]

the tails look OK.the rest is beyond a monkey's abortion. don't use this for your niceic assessment.

 

[Gary latto]

Yeah just a bit!!!!
also connected two 10mm bonding cable to board and cut to just reach under kitchen units

 

[Gary latto]

Tel not my work mate would be embarrassed to put my name to it mate absolute mess mate

 

[littlespark]

Distinct lack of green sleeving.
Why sleeve some and not all?

Are you working on this? Add an extra to your price to bring that into the 21st century

 

[Dave OCD]

Horrendous, not just bare CPCs but how much closer could they be to the live outgoing MCB terminations ?!

 

[Dave5678]

Given they are insulated crimps, they're possibly the best bit of the wires they're connecting.

Agree really Carp

Takes real skill to make a simple board conversion look this bad...

Did a italian spark put that in , me looking in the cupboard looking a tin of spaghetti.

 

[Gary latto]

Just a mess full stop guy that did it can't be found apparently so that's no surprise. ..

 

[tony clark]

THATS ONE FOR DOMINIC LITTLE
JUST ADD THE BOLOGNESE SAUCE

 

[telectrix]

it's a right bollokgnese already.

 

[Gary latto]

What do guys normally use to extend cables when required??
Wouldn't it make for a better and tidier looking job to pull legs out of board and use a mf fitting and new legs into boards rather than crimps that look absolutely crap

 

[SparkyChick]

I usually use Ideal's In-line splices for such things in boards (up to 2.5mm CSA) and after that the 2.5-6mm CSA Wagos.

 

[telectrix]

if it's just a few need extendin, e.g. the cpc's are too short, i use ideal in line connectors in CU. if it;s a lot, then an adaptable din rail box, as in one i made earlier (see the blue peter connection). the cpc of the 6.0mm was re=routed after the photo.

 

[Gary latto]

Nice idea tel

 

[Dustydazzler]

I love doing these sort of domestics , they are right in my wheel house as a house badger.
Usually an IP box or Adaptable box like Tel is a very neat solution to multiple extensions to a new position.
If not I will fit the biggest board possible and use in line push connectors to lengthen cables and try to hid the joins behind the mcbs

Either way if I saw the consumers unit in the OP , I would be ripping the whole lot out and starting again...

That's bonny.

Need to up my game, me thinks.

 

[sparkdog]

Aye, absolute Rrrrubbish!

Have you tried the wago MF ones yet?

 

[Gary latto]

Yeah used before quite like them but think would look crap for this boardjust use large earth sleeve over the crimps lol either way always going to look crap mate
