Hi all

I've recently retiled my kitchen and beacause the new tiles are thicker than
the old I'm in a position where I can't reconnect up a couple of switched
spurs as the wiring is just too short. I've tried and am not happy that the
connections are good enough.

The switches are on the ring main and their use is to be a convenient method
of isolating the supply to the dishwasher and washing machine without having
to pull the appliances out. I'm happy to do without the switches so want to
simply connect the wiring together and put a blanking plate in place of the
switch.

I know the correct way to do this would be to use crimp connectors and
heatshrink etc but is it acceptable (or within the regs at least) to use a
suitably rated choc bloc style connector in this case ?

Cheers

Jim
