As mentioned elsewhere needed to explain what double insulation entails. And whether inline crimped connectors need to be in a separate box or can be embedded in a plaster wall like normal cables. It matters aesthetically esp as raising sockets higher in a listed property.

[samgriffiths]

I never knew that was acceptable under the regulations. Thanks for educating me.

[Mandragras]

In line crimp connectors is my favorite method. The most sturdy and reliable in my opinion.

[DDGARDENING]

Do this method apply to a cooker switch

[vmankay]

Would be nice if there was a video showing how to extend the cables/repair outside of a socket (say a drilled cable) as that's not really covered much :(

[Giggler.]

After u fitted the connector you mentioned the cable needs to be doubley insulated? Can you explain what that means please

[Baggiolyful]

Im conflicted with using butt crimps on solid conductors. They do make a good join if crimped correctly however they’re better suited for stranded conductors. In domestic work it’s probably fine but on ships or aircraft’s for example they could become loose overtime from vibration. Then again these installations probably use stranded cables to allow for movement

Great videos, Wago now do a straight through connector. As you say the side by side ones are a bit bulky. If burying a repaired twin and earth back in wall, is it acceptable to reinstate second layer of insulation with insulation tape? Many thanks, Pete 👍

[Interdiction]

Would you put brown tape on over the blue for idiots thinking it was a neutral

[paulroberts]

Would heat shrink be acceptable for second insulation?

[neilvincent]

In line splice connectors would of been quicker

Oh the Irony of this guy trying to teach us how to extend cables and then shows us using a crimping tool and crimps not designed to be used on solid core cables, when you have to educate the educator it is a sad day.

In this particular instance an indent crimper is preferable and suitable crimp to match, stranded or fine stranded are suitable for the crimp tool and crimps he is showing as the wires easily form into the shape the crimp tool creates, a solid wire does not and often creates a poor crimp where the crimp itself is damaged or not formed properly.
