Tensile electrical wiring techniques. The Britannia Joint

Such a clever way to work with electrical cables

In thirty years of replacing wire for water heaters and pumps of all kinds, I’ve never seen a prettier waste of time.

Traditional joinery, mortise and tenon techniques

Why do this instead of solder?

Ain't nobody got time for this

And can you tell me what freakin electrician has the time to waste making connections like this?

Britannia joint is the way, fam. Tensile wiring's hot 🔥

The Britannia joint is a form of electrical joint used for bare overhead wires where great tensile strength is required. The two wires are each tinned, and then each have a short shoulder bent in them, and are then bound together with tinned wire before the whole is soldered.

Wow, using 20x more material works better, who knew.

Thanks to this brilliant technique, you can wire up your home in only 6 short months!
