Portable electric cordage splice

[theoldwizard1]

Can this type of splice be "legally" used to splice 10-3 SJOOW ?

home owners use, probably . if it's going to be on a job site... probably NOPE

There's no way I'd use that on SO, and even less chance I'd use it on SJ.

For a jobsite, OSHA only allows unmodified factory made extension cords. No replacement ends, no tape, no splices, no repairs. Nothing.

For my own purposes, I'd take the two cut ends, add a plug and connector, and plug them together. Done.

This splice kit may be acceptable for UF, when something is buried AND not moving, but it's a recipe for failure on a flexible cord.

Legally? No.

For homeowner use, I'd do this. And I agree totally on osha regs. No modifications to cords.
