[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 80125, member: 2683"] There have been many investigations into cable terminations, including crimp(by compression). They found that any termination be it at point of use ie:- socket outlet, light fitting,junction box, is no less effective providing correct connections are provided. A ratchet crimper is a must as this affords the correct compression on any cable joint. Never over tighten any connection, as this can have detrimental effects on any cable joint. I did read an article where a specific torque was given for all terminations in a consumer unit. However I have lost the paper, and can not find the link. [/QUOTE]
