A soldering tool is often used to join electrical wires. But you may not always have a soldering machine, so in this video we show you how to join electrical wires without a soldering iron. If you're dealing with electrical wiring and need to splice electrical wires, Electricians Don't Want You To Know! Be sure to watch this video called Join Electrical Cables Solderless.

    Как моряк, скажу, что узелки надежные. А как электрик, скажу строго: так ни в коем случае нельзя делать. При соединении провода важна площадь соприкосновения, а не крепость узелка.

    Being a Master Electrician and 44 years of Doing electrical installation…. NEVER NEVER NEVER do this. We rip the wire out and replace it. Splices are made with approved connectors rated for heat. Heat causes fires 🔥
  • I one hundred percent agree with Dave Pitso. I also am a master electrician and in my 40 years of experience, would never make in-line splices in wire. All splices would be made in accessible boxes, with code recognized splicing methods.

    I agree with This Guy. They definitely break code. I’m an industrial maintenance technician. And everywhere I’ve worked would fire you in a heartbeat for making connections like this!
  • Being an electrician myself I would never use these methods. For one they break code. There is bending radiuses for wire and these knots exceed those radiuses. Only exception would be curling the wire to install it under a terminal such as a receptacle. Only approved methods can be used by electricians or we become liable. Two, the knots void the UL listing, so if an electrical fire is caused by this and the insurance company discovers this method you can say good bye for insurance covering any damages.

    "Электрики не хотят, чтобы вы это знали!" Абсолютно верно. Такой херни не хотим, чтобы вы знали.
  • I usually use an insulated crimp connector for the ends of the two wires. Crimping is important because it (a) ensures that both wires are good and tight, and (2) increases the area of contact so as to reduce heat generated. Twisting wires are not a good idea if the current is high, especially in household power devices.

    This is the best I have ever come across for those MacGyver fixes. I never thought I would see the Rosendahl knot/Zeppelin Bend used here.
  • There's a reason electricians don't want you to do these. I expect firemen don't want you doing it either.
  • Retired firefighter here. This is the type stuff that granted me a 30 year career .

    I have never seen anything as numbing as these methods. Wow! Absolutely amazed at the Primitive Pete recommendations.
  • All you electricians are right, we get it, it’s not code! But when it’s end times and all I have is wire and electrical tape, damn skippy I’ll be using this. Great video Maker!

    I’m a qualified electrician and have been for 24 years and I have not and would not join electrical cables together like this, I would also recommend anyone watching this not to use this method either, you can buy connectors of various different types that are much better much easier and far more electrically sound than any of the methods shown.

    Здравствуйте Уважаемые , хотелось бы посмотреть , что бы сделали Настоящие электрики , с Тем , кто навяжет подобные узлы , скажем в разводочной коробке на каком предприятии ??? Этого мастера , самого завяжут подобным узлом . Мир вашему дому .👏👏👏👍.

    Well the comments were in the end far more educational the video. I never knew becus I'm not an electrician. But sure glad I read the constructive comments , which is an SOP for me when watching something I really am a novive at. Though wire nuts have been my preferred method for what I have done. Thank you folks for the help.

    Может разве что для соединения тоненьких проводов в мелкоаольтовой и мелкоамперной технике. Поовода такого сечения расчитаны под высокое нарряжение и силу тока. В силу того, что провода окисляются и оксидная пленка обладает высоким сопротивлением, места такой скрутки со временем окислятся, начнут греться и могут вызвать пожар. А потому только пайка
  • @3deasy132
    I’ve been a master electrician for 27 years. And can say, I don’t know why I wouldn’t want you to know this? Just don’t expect it to be cheap to fix it when you call one of us because you burned your house down by doing it incorrectly.
  • These are common knots being done on electrical wire. And while they will work, they most likely will NOT pass any code inspection. These knots, however, work great with thin line--like fishing line--and small diameter rope.
  • @movinon216
    Connect the hot and cold leads (+/-) together in a knot… Brilliant! should we shut down power before or after? …please do tell
