    Water proof electric wiring connector.

    Thanks To Dave for sussing out my nipple problem, got 4 today at £2 each, result, NOW another question....

    Does anyone know where or how I can join a small dia cable suitable to go under water. Similar to Elec board where they fill a 'box' with resin. Can't find one anywhere or small enough.

    Want to get it the size of perhaps a matchbox or even smaller as it has to go behind a light fitting under water with very little space, the cable will only supply 12 volt.

    I have thought of a small connector box and fill it with either 2 tube Araldite or silicon mastic and let it go off, but any other ideas would be most welcome as usual.

    Many thanks,

    Jeff.

      Thanks Steve,

      Are they already filled with jelly?

      Jeff.

      Sorry, I see they are.

        If you don't need to unplug it regularly, I would go with your "fill a box with silicon mastic" solution.

        Cheap and reliable.

          I use these every so often. I'm sure one of the UK suppliers do them as they're easy to obtain in France and Germany. You crimp the wire, then apply a heat gun. This activates a fluid adhesibe in the tube and heat-shrinks the tube at the same time.

          The answer isn't 42, it's 1/137

              Something like this?

                  If you want to use a pluggable solution google for "amp superseal" waterproof plugs.

                    I think they sell waterproof connectors at places that sell pond liners, pumps etc

                      I have tried World of Water and they only sell a connector that is too big.

                      Thanks for suggestion.
