I have a vacuum cleaner cord with a cut in the insulation. I could cut the cord short and use with an extension cord but I was wondering if it is acceptable to cut out the bad part and use insulated butt connectors to join the ends and wrap the joint with electrical tape. I've never seen it done so maybe it's unsafe?


Yes but you must have the completed repair inspected and approved by your homeowner's association chief electrical safety inspector before returning the vacuum to service.
