You can splice wires together in many ways. You can solder them together and then tape them up or use a shrink insulator that shrinks by heating it up. You can strip the wires back about 1/2 inch and then twist them together and put them under a wire nut. Wire splices in a home must be spliced together inside a junction box with a cover. Wires can never be spliced behind a wall. Any splice should be placed where you can access it later on.

Different kinds of splices and joints?
The four types of splices and joints are the Western Union splice, tap splice or tap joint, fixture splices or fixture joints, and rattail joint. The most common among the four wire splices is the Western Union splice.
What is a plain tap or tee joint?
plain tap or tee joint is one of the types of of electrical wire splices and joints
What are the names of the different kinds of splices and joints used for electrical cables?
Some common types of electrical splice:Rat-tail, Western Union, fixture, knotted tap, staggered splice.Some common types of electrical joint:Screw terminals, braided eyelets, crimps, sty-cons, plugs and sockets, insulated screw connectors, wire clip connectors (wire push-ins), twists inside wire nuts, plain wire soldered joints, soldered wire joints to posts and soldered legs for integrated circuits on printed circuit boards.

What are the names of all wire joints and splices?
Butted Splices: Western Union splice for small gauge solid conductors. Multi-conductor cables should utilize staggered splices to decrease the bulk of the jointed area. Rat tail joints are can also be used for solid conductor cables, and are most commonly seen with electrical branch wiring. A naked joint is not very strong. Wire nuts are used as protective covers for these joints, and also provide a mechanical connection for added strength. A fixture joint is also commonly seen in electrical branch wiring where wires of different diameters must be joined together. Split bolt splices are simple mechanical joints normally reserved for residential and commercial grounding conductors, but can be seen in some larger commercial industrial locations or a residential service entrance. Running Splices: A Knotted tap joint is used to connect a branch wire to a continuous wire.
What are the different wire joints?
The electrical splice and joint types are the Western Union splice, tap joint or splice, fixture joint or splice, and the rattail joint. The splices and joints are used to connect two pieces of wires to carry an electrical signal or current.
Image of wire splices and joints?
A picture of an electrical splice would show two or more wires stripped and twisted together. A picture of an electrical joint would show two or more wires held down by screws in a central unit, such as a circuit breaker.
Must bare ground wire splices or connections be in a box?
I thought so. A buyers home inspecter says the splices,connections must be in a box "as per code".
What are the disadvantages and advantages of splices?
Splices allow wires to be pulled into raceways without the need for looping longer lengths of wire; looping wire-pulls entails more labor and increasing chance of damaging to the wire Each splice however, introduces a potential failure point if not done right, and requires its own special parts and extra labor. The splices can heat up, burn up, shake loose, etc. If we are talking control wiring, the added splices increasing the chances of mixing up the wires, which will cause mucho troubleshooting woes.
What are the importance of electrical splice and joints?
Totally important!The connections must be well made and the wires tightly joined to prevent a loss of voltage to the device powered. In high current situations a poor connection causes heat at the connection and oxididaion of the wires and no more or intermittent connections.Most problems in electrical is not a short but: an open connection.Additional AnswerIn the case of high-voltage underground cables, the restoration of the insulation is critically important, as is restoring the cable's waterproof integrity. The skills required are such that cable jointers serve a full apprenticeship in that particular trade.
