    Wago Question for Sockets

    Hi All, As a householder I'm keen to add a double socket further along a wall to extend access in a different corner of the room. I'm connecting with current cabling to pre-2004 cabling (1995 house) and wondered whether I can use Wago connectors and whether I need to enclose them in a plastic...

    Wago 222-415 Splicing Connector

    A well known Chinese online retailer has various distributors offering the equivalent of 222-415s for much less than half the price of the UK equivalent. Does anyone have any experience of using these? Presumably a safe bet to stay well clear? Cheers Southman

    Connector block wiring and replace with Wago

    Hi all, I am about to fit a light fitting and wanted some advice whether I should just connect the light cables into the correct terminal blocks or should I replace the terminal blocks with the Wago connectors? I have attached a picture. Any help would be really appreciated. Sal9

    Wago 221 Inline Lever Connectors 32A for use in socket replacement

    Hi all. I'm going to replace some sockets during a routine redecoration of our lounge including replacing some singles with doubles with USB charge points. From past experience of doing similar in other rooms a long time ago (certainly before the advent of WAGO connectors), I recall that it was...

    Wago query resin joint

    Been using Wagos since they came out, love them, but was wondering do you use them in poured resin submarine joints. Obviously if the resin had any effect on the Wago plastic you would have bad connection, whereas using old style strip connectors, even if the plastic was affected,, the...

    Can i use 6mm twin and earth with wago 5 way to wire up a double plug

    I had to replace a surface plug socket box after the plasterer destroyed the old stuff. It has black, red and earth wire, 3 of each and look quite thick (the earth wire looks like it should be used for barb wire abd isn't covered) Sticking all of that into a new faceplate isn't working so well...

    Wago in-line push fit connectors

    I found these today so ordered some as I suspect I will need to extend a few cables when doing some work soon: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WA2401.html They look neat, rated 32A and accept cable to 4mm. Also stranded cable, which some of the smaller Wago push-fit do not. While it is...

    Use of Wago boxes for spur

    Hi all, I’m after some advice regarding use of Wago boxes for adding a spur off a ring final. Is it okay to use a MF Wagobox with 221 Wago connectors to add a spur off of a ring? I know the Wago 221 connectors are rated at 32A so no issues with overloading them, but the MF Wago boxes are...

    Wago 221 + box = replacement for 30A junction box?

    Hi, I need to swap out a damaged 30A junction box on an existing ring main circuit and thought I'd replace it with Wago 221 connectors and a Wago box, but got a bit concerned by the multiple ratings on the sides of the connectors. Can I simply swap out an old 30A JB with Wagos? Will it be...

    Wago topjob current ratings

    Hello Can anyone confirm for me what the following spec for a Wago TopJob 2202-1201 din rail connector means? The connector can accept max 4mm solid core cable, so does this mean (see bottom row) the connector can cope with 32A? The row above says rated current is only 24A though? I’m easily...

    Which Wago for 4mm stranded

    Hi, Have a question about wago connectors. Looking for suitable wagos for connecting 4mm twin and earth stranded (7 strands), I already have some 221-412 wagos but on reading the specification it stated that they are suitable for use with solid and fine-strand 0.4mm to 4mm. If it is that they...

    Wago or......

    Last few months working with different people I have noticed different pronunciations for 'Wago'. One says Wago another says Wago and another states Wago, I concurred with the latter so how do you pronounce it? Maybe I should do a survey.

    Wago 773 vs 2773 is it just the push force?

    Is the 2773 just newer with less push in force???? Also when using the 773 or 2773 with a gelbox can I just bury it in the ground (low voltage 48vdc) lighting?

    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...

    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...
