Helacon Connectors

[AndrewMgan1976]

If you use Helacon Connectors above a ceiling, do they have to be enclosed???

 

[Strickers]

They should be in an enclosure, you would have a cable that didn't have sufficent mechnical protection.

 

[Sintra]

Where the sheath has been removed from a cable its cores must be enclosed within an accessory or enclosure of the appropriate standard. 526.9

Does heat shrink satisfy this req?

I would say no. I wouldn't do that.

Although enclosed I would interpret the regs meaning a hard enclosure especially as push connectors are brittle and have no cord grips. Choc blocks and wago box' do as they are intended to be used for terminations.

I would use a box.
