Extending a circuit in 10mm t&e

[Arghhh]

Can anyone advise the best way to extend a circuit in 10mm t&e please. I have used crimps for 2.5 but I understand this is not suitable ? Thanks

why not you can get 10mm uninulated crimps and heat sleeve them

as said 10mm crimps seeing as though they were designed for exactly this purpose

When you say uninsulated, do you mean the ones in yellow sleeves or completely uninsulated ?

You can also get heat shrinkable insulated thru crimps, that once crimped, you heat up and the moulded heatshrink seals and insulates the termination.... Available from 1mm thru to 16mm...

Link please

You can get a 60A oval shaped 3 terminal junction box, perfect for this...

Never seen them before always used through crimps and seperate heat shrink they sound like a much more professional job great to see the link engineer

Been trying to find a link for them, ...maybe tomorrow after i've spoken to the electrical contractor, as they were using them on the last project we did...

Or should i say...later today on my part...lol!!!

I may start a war but it's actually the other way round.

Edit - Rereading the post I'm not sure if OP means crimping 2.5mm² is unsuitable - correct - or crimping 10mm² is unsuitable - not correct.

60a jb if accessable. Otherwise good insulated connections via 10mm crimps
