    Maintenance Free 32A Junction Box

    I've been looking at the Wagobox, specifically the 221-4 box, and noticed that it is only classed as maintenance free if the current is 20A or less (derating factor applied to the 32A capacity of the Wago 221 Series 4 connectors) and has a tie-wrap fitted. Do you know of any Wago maintenance...

    Wago 2273 connectors

    Hi all, Was looking at buying a set of wago connectors from screwfix and I came across some 2273 wago connectors that claimed to take up to 4mm^2 cable and were 32A rated, now I thought the 2273 series were all only 24A rated and could only take up to 2.5mm^2 cable. A search on wago's website...

    Wago 224 Use On Under Floor Heating Mat

    Would it be acceptable to use Wago 224 connectors to join a cable that powers an underfloor heating mat that has been damaged? The mat is powered via a thermostat that is connected to a fused connection unit fitted with a 13 amp fuse. The wire feeding the mat is 1.0mm2. I see Wago call the...

    Do Wago connectors always have to be in a box?

    I have a single socket sunk into a standard metal box in a plaster wall on a ring main. I want to put a radiator on that wall and use a blank cover on the front to close off the socket which will be behind the new radiator. I'll use Wago connectors on the old cable ends to ensure the ring...

    Wago 6mm/1.5mm problems

    Anyone had any issues getting 6mm into the 0.5mm-6mm wago's? It's a real struggle getting the conductors into the terminals but the biggest problem is, when 2x6mm are in, a 1.5mm goes in and just falls back out again. The levers feel real stiff. It's not a comfortable fit. This is a 3 way wago

    Why are Wago boxes sold without the mounting buttons?

    As title. Really annoying that having bought boxes of the things the mounting buttons are sold separately, especially if as part of the design and installation they should be securely fixed.

    Wago vs Quickwire

    I've seen some use Quickwire and others use Wago 221 in a Wago box for lights. A lot of people still use Wago, is it because it's cheaper? what do you use?

    IDEAL OR WAGO LEVER CONNECTORS

    Any opinions as to which is best? I have tried both, and I think the Ideal connector levers are more secure than those on the small Wago 221 version. On the new small Wago 221 connectors, I have found the levers tend to lift easily.
