Silly plumbers!!!

[Forty4]

Just been back to a job that I upgraded the DB in and water bonding in November to find the plumber that's fitted a new boiler has cut my bonding to the water main. Now I've got to run the whole lot again FFS.

Through crimp?

[Guest77]

Good Morning Mate.

f#€king plumbers!!!

I thought about crimp but was not sure if it was ok under the regs as it is not continuous?

THAT would depend on how good you are at crimping!!

BUT if you're in any doubt, solder it .. and it WILL be continuous.

Ha I think I can crimp or solder well enough. You learn something new everyday cheers guys saves me a headache.

How many times - there is NO reg saying it has to be continuous!

i'd use a non-insulated butt crimp and cover with a bit of gn/y heat shrink. i'd probably forget to slide the h/s on first and have to cut and re-crimp, thought.

thats why i like soldiered joints.

ffs at least it isnt crimped, heat it up and off it comes

 

[Geoffsd]

heat it up and off it comes

Not done properly, then.

 

[shanky887614]

Not done properly, then.

depends on the solder.

my soldering iron goes a lot hotter than the temerature to melt the solder.

so of course i can take it off

solder melts around 300oC ish for lead solder

Is crimp on lugs any good bolted togethet, or is that clsssed as not continues as can be un done ???

i always thought MDJ's first name was mike ??

well im not writing out another xmas card so he'll just have to remain as mike till next year.

[Geoffsd]

The solder in soldered joints is to prevent oxidation.

The joint should be electrically and mechanically sound before soldering.

 

[telectrix]

you're correct, biff. it's geordie not took his senility pills.

 

[Guest55]

not to worry , i was lying about the xmas card anyway :-D

What makes you think that???

It's classed as an amateurish bodge!

 

[shanky887614]

because he crimps then solders, in that case it is a waste of solder.

if i crimp a cable they are tight together then solder to hold it together.

much better readings than using a steel through crimp

the solder just holds it together and your not moving it when the solder cools

My god how many times I have done that, it's a bit like glancing swa, I cut it and splay it all then realise I've not put the hood on it.

 

[Guest55]

not nearly as many times as i've wired up a flex and lighting click plug to realise i've not slid the domed cover on first....
im a clutz.

through crimps are made of copper
