Joining two 16mm twin and earth's together?

[Bob Geldoff1234]

Hi,I need to extend a 16mm twin and earth sub main cable and was wondering what the best method was for joining them together so they are safe and enclosed?

Crimps, heat shrink sleaving and a suitable enclosure

Any good?

Where will the joint be located?

Agree, apart from the spelling lol

60A junction box will do nicely.

DIN rail terminals or copper tube butt crimps in an adaptable box with glands.

In a cupboard most likely.The 16mm cables feed 3 flats which went into a single phase board.3 phase has now been installed approx 10 feet away.I need to extend the 16mm's to the new isolators.

Think I would do something like Lucien suggested. I’d source an electrical enclosure with din rail, and din rail connectors etc. Some Wiska or Sprint glands for flat cables.

Twist it, Tape it, Hide it.

Resin filled joint kit - it’s permanent and doesn’t need to be in a cupboard!
Unless you need accessible terminals for some reason?
