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.


The poor ******* didn't say he lived in California... The solution is to
buy a new, CARB certified vacuum cleaner.


Does he have CARB certified undies?
