[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 175088, member: 1607"] I will just add at this point, whatever method of connection is used, crimp, push-fit, screw terminal block, etc. there should always be adequate mechanical protection to prevent the joint from being exposed to any strain on the connections. e.g. an enclosure or joint box with strain relief clamps, grips or glands etc. So Apaches test should never actually be encountered on a correctly installed joint. However it is still an interesting comparison. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
