A persistent ballache, Joining T&E to SWA I have tried various methods and all work, metal enclosures, wiskas, butt joints , henlys in boxes , is there a way I have not thought of ? a resin enclosure with a flat end and a round end, and please if you cant think of something do not resort to puerile slagging, you are not 14 and on facegram or instabook
 
for small stuff...upto 6mmm, i always use a wiska box or similar. bigger cables would be henlys in a suitable enclosure. occasionally done a soldered joint with heat shrink inside the property. if i was working in america, i would, of course, use fire wire nuts.

Cheers I have a issue with a 10mm T&E installed by the builder through a stone wall its getting changed to SWA dropping from the attic "eventually" I just need to get it connected for a campsite bothy to allow the job to progress a bit
 
10mm you need decent connectors in a box. i can only recommend henleys.don't think wagos will cope.
 
a good hammer save splaying out too many strands.
 
I like resin joints, you can usually cut the end of the shell to suit the shape of the cable. Then seal it up with putty/ deso/ whatever. Remember the shell is just there to hold the resin until it sets.

Yeah thats an idea and I have one in the van cheers I will sus it out tomorrow
 
Also if you use a bigger shell you have more room to make connections, costs a bit more in resin but less swearing.
 
If it is going to be inaccessible, resin joint every time, but like the OP have tried various methods!
Doesn't have to be a conventional underground joint kit a wiska or similar filled with resin will do!
 
All the above intrigue me; anyone got pictures of the above? I'm all for learning those handy little nuggets
