My "Line/Wago" Products experience... | Page 4 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss My "Line/Wago" Products experience... in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

What I was questioning was the assumption that I was using lever connectors, as I never mentioned anything about the connectors I was using. As it happens, because I'm doing 1 in, 3 out, I'm using Wago 4 way push-in's :smiley2:
Sorry wasn't meant as a critism. Aren't the levers better than push-in for ccc?

It would appear my eyesight :dozey: is failing me , apparently lever blocks are rated at 24A for 2.5, not 26A as I previously stated. The lettering is so damn small.

But in answer to your question, they both (lever & push-in) seem to be rated at 24A for 2.5mm. As I need 4 way connections, using the 5 lever ones seems unnecessary, when there are 4 way push-in ones readily available that fit the bill.

Are you sure?

Seems to say the lever connectors are rated at 32A, or is it related to cable size as well? Haven't had chance to look at a connector itself though!

Well it definitely says 2.5 - 24A and 4 - 32A (I'm presuming that the 2.5 and 4 are both mm sizes) on the bottom of the lever blocks I have, but now I'm beginning to think that different countries have approved it at different ratings, as next to those ratings is an ENEC logo, a quick Google check of them gives this...

ENEC

But the ratings on the blocks themselves are different from the Wago webpage, as the webpage makes no reference to the item being rated differently depending on what CSA cable is used??
Now I'm totally confused :sick:
 
These connectors are fantastic for replacing ceiling roses where room is essential to terminate connectors. Using the push in type for cpc is a must for me, as this often bends away and its not clear if a good contact has been made. Using the clear push type shows connection. I have not used the line box, only the wago junction box with no snags. I will be purchasing the line box. Good thread.

I use the clear push fits for CPC's wherever possible too for the same issue you mention. All too often those little bleeders do not terminate correctly first time due to the sleeving moving instead of the cable.

You'll love the line enclosure, if you suffer with cramps then I am sure this will make your life even easier:thumbsup

Another good use for these enclosures for me has been on the rewire I am currently working on where I have tested the lighting circuits, bypassed the switches and made safe by zip tying inside the enclosure. This means the lights can still be energised, everyone can go about their work safely, accessories aren't getting ruined and down-lighter cables can be left made safe too :D Even the plasterer seems to be happy with them left in position too :D
 
Wholesaler recently threw a load of the Line twist connectors at us. Surprised at the quality of them and how well they hold, now keep a variety with me :icon4:
 
i have ordered 20 line boxes and loads of 2 and 3 lever wago's today for a job i got on wednsday replacing 20 standard downlights for 20 fire rated ones, lets see how much time i will save, i am already a convert to wagos, just used a load replacing some old strip lights in a school kitchens for vapourproofs :smile5:

How did the job go?
 
Have been using the Wago connectors and the Line boxes and boy it's wonderful, yep I'm over the moon, the wago's are so handy and easy to use and the line boxes compliment the wago's when fitting downlighters- its so easy we cut our holes and terminate the cables in the line boxes which enables us to test before we fit the downlighters and after its painted we can fit the lights-simples, honestly it's a no brainer:tongue3:
