An aircraft wiring installation connecting a set of fuel side wires in an aircraft fuel tank to a set of airside wires outside the fuel tank, the installation comprising:
- a connector box having a fuel side wall and an airside wall;
- one or more connectors carried by the fuel side wall which connect the fuel side wires to the airside wires;
- a fairing partially covering the airside wall;
- and one or more holes in the airside wall through which the airside wires pass from the connector box into the fairing.
A method of connecting a set of fuel side wires in an aircraft fuel tank to a set of airside wires outside the fuel tank, the method comprising:
- fitting a connector box to a hole in the fuel tank, the connector box having a fuel side wall and an airside wall;
- connecting the airside wires to the fuel side wires using one or more connectors;
- fitting the connector(s) to the fuel side wall of the connector box;
- passing the airside wires through one or more holes in the airside wall of the connector box.;
- and fitting a failing which covers the hole(s) and the airside wires and partially covers the airside wall of the connector box.
A connector box for connecting a set of fuel side wires in an aircraft fuel tank to a set of airside wires outside the fuel tank, the connector box having a first wall and a second wall;
- one or more connectors carried by the first wall for connecting the fuel side wires to the airside wires;
- and one or more holes in the second wall through which the airside wires can pass from the connector box into a fairing.
