Ed21 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Got what must be a simple question. I've got three SWA 3 core cables that are already fixed and run into a external waterproof box that now need to be joined. Just had a look on CEF and Screwfix and their are a lot of options, so what is the current/best fave for joining 3x 4/6mm single cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roys Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Wago’s sized for the 6mm will work well, presume the cable will be properly glanded and banjoed / piranha nutted to ensure that the armour is earthed and continuous between the cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, IP65 plastic junction box, external glands/banjos with armour earthed along with the earth in the 3 core for continuity. The source and destination of the cables also have a separate earthing rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
