WIRE SIZES - ADVICE NEEDED BY A NON ELECTRICAL, NON EXPERT, NON GURU PLEASE

<< < (3/3)

BigAl (Alan):
Dear Julie,

I will try and keep the answer non 'technical

As Ash says, obtain some new 25.00mm stranded cable. Then ring around your local Electrical Wholesaler/factors, and ask if they have any 'Galvanised non-insulated Ring tube terminals, Size M6-25mm.  Then enquire if they also have the 25mm crimp tool (they normally hire then out on a day rate)

Once they answer yes to both questions, put your nurses uniform on, take the cable with you, and then buy the terminals at the trade counter...then ask the man to demonstrate the use of the crimp tool on your cable & crimps...Nurses uniform is required for this bit...no hire charge!

I do hope the above helps

Alan

Nurse Julie:
Thank you Al, that's exactly what I needed to know. I understand every single bit if that. And yes, I am not adverse to putting on the Nurses uniform to get things done, it has worked on many occasions in the past and hopefully will do for this little job. Thanks again.

I did that in a hire shop; got them to demo the cutter on a few tiles,  then asked him to do the rest.   

The nurses uniform worked a treat.
