My "Line/Wago" Products experience...

[DNS1]

As I just said on another thread, I'd be very happy to use Wagos and boxes or Line enclosures on every job, but it's just too hard to get hold of them.

I'm a kind of "size up the job and go to the local wholesalers" kind of guy, but as people have commented, no-one locally sells this kit...

 

[telectrix]

order from line products direct. i placed an order with them on a monday, paid by card, and delivery arrived wednesday.

Why don't you buy a LINE connector kit and a box of Enclosures? If after 3 months you are not convinced that they are the best bit of consumable kit in your van I will take them back and refund.

Bought some of the LINE connectors and enclosures to install some down lights for a customer. Found the first couple a bit fiddly but once I was onto the third light I could see the advantages and for me now I imagine I will be using these for 95% of any down lights I install or for any other joints I need to make. Love the product and I will be ordering more in the near future.

Nick I am sorry about the delay. We had some problems that caused delay but I agree that this is not acceptable - hopefully I can make it up to you!

Thanks for your support and patience.

 

[nickblake]

not a problem i wasnt having a go these things happen , im very happy with the products but what would be a good addition to the range would be a central heating connection box made up with fixed lever wagos say for instance 2 8 way levers for the earths and neutrals 6 4 way levers and 4 2 way levers just to make it flexible with all the levers fixed into an adaptable box with 16mm stuffing glands for the cable entries be great

After going through this thread these seem to be the mutts-dangley bits...

Just sent an order through for the kit and will see how it goes,cant see there being any problems though from the feedback i've read here.

Class product. Have four pro boxes, two in garage, two in van, just don't leave home without them!!!

 

[Dcf]

The boxes are good.not sure about the 3 lever connectors had a few that won't take a hold of the conductor in one of the ports.i have a wago case in the van and will compare the two next week.apart from that thumbs up .

Thanks

Unfortunately not!

MY father is an electrician also... I remember when I'm still a kid a use to play this.. hahaha funny... >just sharing<

 

[Andy78]

I would just like to urge people to give LINE a go. I placed my first order with them a couple of weeks ago, 50 enclosures and a couple hundred connectors to keep me going. I ordered in the early afternoon using their website and my delivery came the next day mid afternoon. I asked for a fistfull of samples of bits that I didn't buy and got them too. Clearly a company that realises the value of good customer service..keep it up guys.

 

[a-z electrics]

Use wago blocks which are great but have not used Line products b4 - will try now though, they sound good!!

 

[telectrix]

especially their downlight kits. all you need is a pair of cutters and a bit of earth sleeve. no more arsing around with screws dropping out of boxes and being totally unfindable.

 

[Swicade]

Gotta agree with Teletrix there....lost count of the amount of time wasted trying to find a dropped JB screw as they seem to bounce and roll under anything nearby *mutters*.

 

[cbw]

I am a fan of the 'Black egg!'

Really like them and have been converted from the ashley/hager MF JBs

 

[Rumacoai]

Line, fantastic company great product, use them all the time. Customer service is great. If you haven't tried them then I urge you to. Great thread.

Have been checking my account on their website and it still says "processing", have sent emails asking for delivery date followed by a phone call this morning only to be met by an answering machine.

Respond please Line, you have my details.

Hi Mr S

I agree that on this occasion our service has not been what we aim for. No excuses. Please accept my apology. We will see you right.

Yes, our normal opening days are mon to fri - 8 to 8. So we wouldn't usually pick up emails or messages sent after this time on a Friday but will try respond within 24 hours during weekends.

I will email you an update.

Regards

Farrel.

Re: My &quot;Line/Wago&quot; Products experience...

Hi Farrel,

I wanted to wait until I received the goods before responding, which as promised were delivered today.

I accept your apologies and explanation regarding the late delivery but also understand this kind of thing can happen.

I look forward to receiving the 15 box and voucher.

Thanks & regards,
Dipzy

use flex and drop the the sleving

[nickblake]

I had to use line boxes for some church lighting was well good very fast to install then i ran out and used MF JB's was alot slower all in all very good sure ive said that before ,had one slight problem but appart from that A1

 

[telectrix]

use flex and drop the the sleving

the sleeving is for the cpc on the T/E.

Have used the Wago's & Wagoboxes for over a year and they are great.

Have not tried the line ones, they look good as they are straight through & will help if length is an issue.

The ideal brand splice line are helpful there too

Tommy, pm me your contact details and I'll send you some samples.

Thanks appreciate it, have to get to 15 posts to be allowed to PM you.

Think this one makes 10!

 

[brman]

Thought i would add to this thread instead of starting a new one......

I'm half way through a job that has ended up with a lighting circuit more complicated that it should have been. 6 cables and 8 connectors (two of them 3 way) all need joining, preferably in a single enclosure. I wasn't sure it was going to work so I just had a try with some scrap cable and a line enclosure.

Room to spare.......

​

:rockon:

 

[telectrix]

neat, but where's the sleeving?

 

[RmBo_0]

Looks so much easier than trying to fit all the connectors in the wago box and getting it shut.

I just knew someone would ask that :lol:

it was just a test......

 

[brman]

yep. With these you don't have to align all the connectors to get them to fit in. Just plug them on, bend them back out of the way and on to the next one.
I was already a bit of a fan of the line enclosures but I was still surprised how easy it was.

I also tried it with the lever lock connectors - absolutely no chance of getting them to fit!

 

[sajeel]

great post have used wago connectors and they are great.

 

[keniff]

I have found wago levers to have a better grip than line, but the pushfits seem all the same

 

[ReWired]

Looking at the line/wago's push in connectors.
Say I wanted to extend a ring, noticed that the line connectors are rated at 32a and wago rated at 24a.
Am I right in thinking that the 24a is ok as each cable is only rated at 20a anyway (2.5mm twin), or does the connector need to match the MCB rating of 32a ?

I think if you compare the connectors like for like they are pretty much the same rating. i.e. lever type 32A, push in 0.75mm2 to 2.5mm2 =20/24A. There appear to be a few push in type with higher current ratings - line show some 0.75-4mm2 32A ones. I have some Wago 2.5 to 6mm2 which are 41A if I remember correctly.
Just buy the ones that meet your needs.

btw. if you want to use them maintenance free I believe they need derating. there is a table inside the lid of the wagoboxes which appears to show both 773 push fit and 222 lever type at 20A/250V.
