good find op, heat added

What would you use these for ?

Good price. Use these by the thousands. Very quick and efficient, if not maintainable.

So is that a completely different product?

Should use Jelly Crimps for telephone wire, Alot better and cheaper

Yes, got them mixed up :neutral_face:
PS, voted up anyway :smiley:

Thats what I used but forgot what they were called :smiley:

Thanks, didn't know about these, looks a lot easier and neater than the traditional screw terminal blocks, heat added. (thanks to dpc1979 for the video links as well)

pictures show them protected inside a box , is that necessary in the loft or underfloor ?

Wish I'd known about these before I started redoing the circuits in my house. Good price

Never even heard of these before, great idea, only negative I can see is they might be more bulky than normal blocks?

These are good but only work on solid wires, they're no good for normal threaded cables. You would need the lever type for that. Heat for the price.

Yes absolutely it's against regulations not too, also all joints must be inspectable.

It was my understanding that these are classified as permanent joints and so don't require inspecting. Instant through crimp if you will. Always good to be able to get at em though

That's the point of these, joints don't have to be accessible, although they have to be downrated if they aren't able to be inspected. Normal screw terminals MUST be accessible for inspection.
The manufacturers website explains the downrating. The new lever type connectors are also much smaller than the old ones and seem to be higher rated.

​Ah I see, thanks for replying.

Brilliant little time savers can recommend,
Also used the lever type, again recommended

are the cables connected inside they look isolated from one another in the pics?

Absolutely brilliant little invention, makes connecting lights and other connections equipment a total breeze...never again will I become stressed stood at the top of the ladder, on the landing, trying to fit several wires into one pendant light socket!

could these be used to join speaker wires?

This is true but I've had to move certain lights and plugs.
I've redone the circuit where possible but have had to connext in certain places.
Luckily I will know where the joints are so if anything goes wrong I should be able to trace it.

Personally, I'd just buy them from CPC instead.

OK so it isn't as convenient for click and collect but delivery is free if you are spending over a fiver. Personally I prefer delivered items to click and collect.

If you buy 100 you'll save yourself 1p against screwfix. If you want less than 100 you'll save a lot because you only pay for the number you want. If you are buying in bulk, you can buy 500 for a lower rate than screwfix at cpc too.

In those situations I always pull new cable t nearest socket or fitting to avoid joints.

Heat added even though I ordered 50 of the ones used in the video rather than from this link, and from CPC but without this deal I wouldn't have known these existed. Thanks.

​in a perfect world....
