Best deals for Wago

[Andy78]

Where is everyone buying their wagos from at the minute ? I'm after a bulk order to stock up for a bit so the cheapest the best really. My local wholesaler is about the same price as screwfix but I'm sure there must be better deals out there somewhere......

 

[NDG Elecs]

The local electricfix to me offer a bigger discretionary discount when buying over £200 or thereabouts. Occasionally I buy a few drums of cable, wagos, screws, etc, etc in bulk to get the bigger discount. Normally it's 10-15% extra off.

They also have the cheaper rates normally listed when buying in bulk.

 

[Andy78]

Cheers NDG.
I also found out today that TLC online do some good prices and the 690 piece mixed bulk case seems a good deal too.

 

[NDG Elecs]

I just bought these from Amazon. Box of 100; surely fake or a typo..... Will compare them with genuine article when they arrive... The store has a lot of positive reviews though...

I have just been comparing prices and electricfix seem as competitive as any others. TLC I do like dealing with. I would email them for a best price with your order quantities. They are helpful in the extreme when I have dealt with them.

 

[Andy78]

got a link so i can have a peek please ?

EDIT: at that price I would expect a blister pack of 20, or a loose quantity of 10

 

[NDG Elecs]

Yeah they are stupidly cheap....

It's a typo, note the price per item at the top, but one that should get you a refund at least. Take a screenshot before they change it after you complain when you get 10.

 

[NDG Elecs]

Have screenshot already Andy

It does say 39 pence per 10... I am starting to feel slightly guilty now! But if they do send 100 I won't complain!!

 

[Andy78]

Just looked, the same seller was advertising the 3 port levers box of 50 for a similar price. Just bought 6 boxes. They also have 5 port lever and 2 port push fit but with no indication of box quantity

 

[NDG Elecs]

I never thought to check for other sizes etc. Will look at their store front I think....

Edit: just ordered 200 of the three lever... I am expecting an email in the morning from them saying there is a mistake....!

 

[Sintra]

£291 for 1200 3 port levers at CEF

 

[LeeH]

I got one of those 690 kits from CEF. It was under £100 IIRC.

 

[Hellmooth]

My wholesaler doesn't stock the newer shape I had to get them in and they were a bit expensive! I've been looking at getting some in bulk to save some pennies, i sometimes buy ideal as well, you feel like you're getting a deal but it's only 40 in a box!

 

[Andy78]

Well apart from the amazon bargain which might not be, the cheapest I can find is TLC if anyone else is interested. That's for individual boxes and for the mixed cases.

Wago push wire and lever connectors - https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Wago_Connectors/Wago/index.html

You can toggle prices between VAT inc and not inc which is handy.

 

[Hellmooth]

They're really cheap, the 221's were £4 more expensive from wholesalers than that!

 

[PEG]

Just put an ridiculous order in...let us see if their pattern-spend anti-fraud software is working...

 

[ElectroChem]

I've just had a look at these, and it seems they won't deliver to Australia. Would any members be interested in helping out with forwarding a parcel to me?

 

[LeeH]

Can you use the over there?

1. They'll be upside down
2. Might no have the Aussie standards.

I'll just put them on backwards, that should cancel out the upside down. AS3000 just says connectors must be of a design to prevent escape of single strands. We don't see a lot of wagos here it's mostly BP screw connectors; I'm on a bit of a crusade to convert my workmates I've got the wago bug hard since trying some.

I note someone asked the question about pack size and the seller responded that they ARE packs of 100 lol....I am also IN as the dragons would say.
Is this a pack of 100?
Answer:
the item that opens with this link is a pack of 100. they tend to come in packs of 100, 50, or ten.
By B Walker on 26 July 2016
Yes.
By Rick, Maidstone on 26 July 2016
Yes, this is pack of 100pcs

I get mine from cpc

 

[NDG Elecs]

I got email confirmation that my order has been despatched this morning. They will be inspected carefully when they arrive...

 

[GETWIRED]

Is there a mf enclosure for them yet?

 

[NDG Elecs]

Is there a mf enclosure for them yet?

Not to my knowledge. Last time I checked there are only a few certain Wagos that can be classified as MF when certain caveats are met whilst installing them. None of the lever type Wagos were included in the MF category.

Don't think there is even a proper enclosure for them yet, where they fit snugly. Line grenades aside.

 

[LeeH]

Please explain how you maintain a lever wago.

 

[NDG Elecs]

No idea! You don't! That info was from last time I looked at the Wago gumph. Only a few types of the push in type could be used for MF. I am guessing that is all that has been extensively tested and passed as being fit for MF from their range so far.

 

[LeeH]

Well if you cannot, its maintence free then

Joking aside, I never realised there was an acutual list. School day and all that...

Hi Lee,

The last time I saw the conditions etc was on a little flyer which came with the enclosure. Obviously the enclosure is stamped MF. And certain Wagos could only be used, and the enclosure had to be cable tied too. That was a little while ago now though so it may have changed.

I normally use the Hager MF if needed, but always trying to make sure there are no inaccessible joints is the obviously the better way.

 

[GETWIRED]

Bit annoying they said one would be out this year.

 

[Andy78]

Well mine came today. I was expecting 6 boxes of 50 3 lever and 6 boxes of 100 2 lever. I got 6 individual pieces of each.
Called the seller directly and they apologised profusely for the incorrect listing, issued a full refund and let me keep what had been delivered. Ah well.

 

[LeeH]

Shame but expected I guess.

 

[Andy78]

Totally, lol.

 

[interlude]

Received my order today also, I ordered one box of 50 and received..1 ha. Sent a mesage asking where the other 49 are, the company are no longer listing lever wago's on there online store so I imagine someone has had a telling off and they have been removed.

 

[interlude]

For comparison if you actually ordered 50 from them it would cost £196.50 compared to £14.80 for a pack of 50 from amazon directly!

 

[Andy78]

I have had my refund processed already.. do you have the number for the company ?

OUCH!!

No such thing as a free dinner eh!

I have not received mine yet, won't be holding my breath....

Yeah I didn't think it would happen but it was worth a try. On the plus side I have a few free samples of the 221 series, which I haven't used before, and much prefer to the 222s now I've handled them.

 

[HandySparks]

If you have a phone number that gets through to the right place, would you mind sharing?

 

[Andy78]

0800 6226222 is the seller I purchased from. Capital stores ltd of Manchester. I spoke to a lady called Amanda who was extremely helpful and apologetic.

Yeah the 221s are nicer in every way I think.

The 221's are the business, I've just struck a deal with my wholesaler to match the TLC prices, really impressed with the 221's

I thought that too for a while, but when I checked, Wago state that the old chunky 773 (push-fit) and old chunky 222 (lever) series can be used in combination with a Wagobox and classed as MF.

See this resource: The Wagobox Junction Box System and the BS5733 MF Logo guide - http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/resources/the-wagobox-junction-box-system-and-the-bs5733-mf-logo-guide.50/

Looking forward to the day we get an enclosure that's spec'ed MF with either the 221s or the 2273s

Cheers for that Steve. The link(s) were not coming up with anything definitive when I tried. So I have been looking online and found this:
