Re: Approved Electrical Connections
It Appears from further investigations that the use of Crimp Connectors is permissible in this circumstance. Not my choice though, as its possible for these types of connectors to pull apart by using cheap crimps, crimps of the wrong diameter or inferior crimping tools or poor assembly techniques.
As for our learned friend, and to put the false assumptions being made aside
I was not attempting to blame anyone but to seek out the facts if this type of connection is legal when considered with Plugs and other types of recognised methods of connection which carry the appropriate markings.In all the years I have been in this trade I have seen many improvised methods of connection mostly by customers, kitchen Fitters and the like, However not once on any training I have received has there ever been instruction or discussion on making direct mains connections using these types of connector where the user could have access or come into contact with same.

No idea what “barrel connectors” are but even if he used chewing gum instead that individual was only negligent by his actions and did not contravene any official legislation.
Also know as Crimp Connectors Martin,

Surprisingly no, though I did Google ‘barrel connector’ and clicked on images and the result was even more confusing, hence my question. When I repair a broken wire (say on a Bosch dishwasher wiring harness) I use ‘Butt Connectors’ and just Googling that name produces a clearer image of what they are. A few years back I cut through the orange 2 core on my Flymo and RCD tripped out but I wasn’t even halfway through cutting the grass. Only the live lead was cut so I trimmed the sheath back sufficient to crimp in a red butt connector and black ‘self amalgamating’ taped over the patch. A safe ‘n tidy fix that is still in good order to this day….. 😀
Re: Approved Electrical Connections
Steady martin, with doing that repair on your lawnmower you have probably made an illegal connection and broke several by laws and regulations, how unsafe and i hope someone reports you to the relevant authorities.
Lucky you have a fused plug which in turn is connected to your fused consumer unit!

Re: Approved Electrical Connections
Guys…
Please play nice and chuck it with the slagging match. There’s no call for it in a conversation on the subject or, if you want to continue in that vein then please take it off the forum to a private conversation.
Thanks
