    In what context?  Fusebox, socket-box, or within a length of wire pulled into conduit, etc?  Insulated conductor, or just a sleeved end?  I leave the regulations aspect to others who'd know better to comment on. Just based on what I'd feel happy with, I'd not want to have this within a conduit and yet I'd tolerate it in e.g. a box where it's well done, inspectable, not strained, and avoids changing an awkward run of cable. 


    Agreed - BS 7671 requires connections to be accessible for inspection unless they are classed as maintenance free
