Use the NE26 neutral earth connector to connect together the bunch of neutral earth wires from the plastic service cable, the neutral conductor of the PILC service cable and the earth braid for the neutral to lead sheath bond.
Insulate the connector with the CR sheet patch.
Connect earth braid to lead sheath at each end of the joint using the mechanical earth bond kits.
Use the MB21 phase connector to connect the two phase conductors together.
Apply the moisture barrier mastic tape to the lead sheaths next to the mechanical earth bonds.
Fit the cable joint shell, checking for a minimum clearance of 10mm between the joint shell and the completed cable joint
