Hi
I had to move a double socket and change it to 2 single gang sockets by 30cm and 60cm. The existing double socket is wired on a 4mm radial circuit and it is fitted inside the wall or better term chased in the wall. It was used by dishwasher and washing machine. Obviously it now has burned so the need of two separate sockets and at more convenient location.
I got 4mm cable and 30mm deep surface mounted boxes. The issue is that I am struggling to close the face plate because the cable is too thick and there isn't much room inside the back box. Using more deeper back boxes isn't an option at the moment. I am thinking of using wago connectors.
I will use 3 way orange wago connectors (221.413) for 4mm cable and then use 3 inch 2.5mm cable in the 3rd hole of wago to connect the socket? Is it OK to use 2.5mm cable just inside the socket? The rest of the cable will stay 4mm.
Thanks
