Line products connectors

[Andy78]

Thanks for the info guys, hopefully anyone else who gets their orders will confirm on this thread as well.


I can't see any reason to suspect shill activity Andy and I'm usually pretty good at picking them out. Neither member is new as such.

No worries, I'm just a suspicious beggar sometimes
Don't get me wrong, I would love them to be active again. I have been getting very fed up of wagoboxes lately and would love their enclosures back in my stock.

This is great news, the 'hand grenades' as I call them are great enclosures, Wago boxes are not as good. I am a bit wary of ordering though.

Also the connectors they sell are slightly cheaper than screwfix. Screwfix sell some by made by ideal but they look and feel the same as the lines own brand connectors

Yep, as far as I remember, Line products connectors are Ideal brand.

These arrived today, fairly pleased, they look like the real deal. (connectors to follow separately for some reason)
Just hope they stay available for a while. Glad they are back I have missed using them.

Great news, it looks like they're supplying again. Hope your connectors arrive soon.

At the risk of Andy78 thinking I work for Ideal Products this time their new clear/blue lever connectors are a good product. Great for connecting stranded to solid lighting cable when using the Line enclosures and much neater than the grey/orange Wago ones.

No worries, I'm quite convinced you don't have vested interests
Do you have a link to these connectors ? I think they might be the ideal ones I got a sample of a few weeks back.

Good to know, I'll be grabbing some enclosures while the going is good.

Andy, correct about the lever connectors, I tried the free samples and then got my local CEF to get me in a box of 2's, 3's and 5's.

I think Line Products used to sell the Wago and Ideal connectors. If they still do then maybe you could specify your preference when you order. Just a thought.

It took them about 6-8 weeks to send my last "test" order. So im waiting until I see a few more people have timely deliveries without hassle before using again.

I think it time we heard from farrel at line on how he plans to move his company forward

 

[Richard Burns]

I think he was badly let down when he outsourced the delivery service; at least it was after that the deliveries were getting slow and incorrect and then dried up altogether, my last order before this was shown as delivered though I did not receive it.

However this time my delivery was with me in two days from ordering on the slow delivery option.
Although i have not counted the junction boxes it looks correct, just still waiting on the wago connectors but still only three days from order so not worried yet.

i ordered a box of 50 two days ago. just turned up. im happy with that.

Did your shipment come complete with connectors Dave or are they following later?

I should point out that the connectors i ordered were 2 pole lever action wago connectors and effectively unconnected with the junction boxes.
Overall if they have the junction boxes and no longer sell the wago or ideal connectors it would not worry me as the local wholesalers are starting to cotton on to them and so they are readily available.

However I would like to receive the order, I am hoping they were just out of stock.
