I was wondering what folks do with their neutrals when three plating at switch? I've been using wagos, but I was chatting to another sparks and he was saying that he had been pulled up for not securing the neutral in the box. What are people's thoughts?
 
I've always use the good old choc block.

How are you to secure any connection other than the cpc in a back box anyway
 
never had any issues with a choc block. inspectors have checked and given the green light
 
nothing in BS7671 against wagos or choc blocks. bet there's something against in the niceic rules though.
 
only a complete effing moron would spend money on a nic publication.

the famous 5 go camping series is more factually correct.

=_=
 
This was a grey area many years ago, from memory my old college tutors and sparkies, said never have neutrals in back of switch box, have done it myself a few times.If I did a job and it got knocked back I would fit a 20amp dp switch.:D
