Silly plumbers!!!

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.

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.

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

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

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.
