Unaccessible joints within ceiling space.
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2022 7:42 am
While I always avoid joints in TPS cable runs, I have a situation where extending an existing cable with a joint is unavoidable without major building disruption. My concern is this connection will be sealed in the ceiling space and will be unaccessible in the future. It's a low current 1mm2 lighting circuit.
Studying 3.7.3 allows this practice, with additional requirements from 3.7.2. However ESR20 (2i) lists the maintenance access requirement.
Screw connectors in a junction box would in my opinion have a "maintenance" aspect. If using inline crimp connectors with heat shrink, which product range does everyone trust?
