Connecting 6.0mm T&E

[besenzig]

Running a 20A 6.0mm T&E radial to utility room to supply two single 13A sockets to feed Washing Machine and Tumble Dryer.

The T&E will be terminated in a PVC adaptable box, just wondering how to make the connection to the sockets as terminals
will not take 6.0mm.

Can I use connector strip using 4.0mm or 2.5mm to feed the sockets, was hoping to use Wago but they too will not take 6.0mm.
Is there connector out there that will do the job.

Thanks

Why 6mm for a 20A radial? What's the installation method?

Use sockets that will accept 6mm wiring would be the way to go.

Why 6mm? must be a hell of a run?

Could I ask why you are using 6mm cable Besen?

2.5mm would be the cable to use, and Wago do make connectors that take 6mm.

Utility room is at house number 70. Supply source is at number 4.
Hell of a lot of lofts and insulation to pass through.
Obvious innit!

Cable was orinigally going to be used for feed to garden shed, shed now not going up and the lean to at the rear has been
converted to utility room with W/M & Dryer. Utilising cable run already in situ.

Can you tell me who makes these sockets.

Joking aside, do we have an answer on installation method?

Cant seem to find them, would you be able to supply a link. 6mm is already there, originally intended for garden shed but unused so using it for utility room. Over engineered i know but its there.

Lets see:
MK
Crabtree
Contactum
probably a few other brands....

Also wago do 41A rated pushfit connectors that accept 6mm2 cable.
why 6mm2 though? insulated walls?

That's not what your original post said! But we now have our answer!

Cabended already there intended for garden shed but unused. Thanks for the socket makes, did not know they made them. Learn one everyday.
