My "Line/Wago" Products experience...

[i=p/u]

use flex and drop the the sleving

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.

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

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

Think this one makes 10!

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.......

neat, but where's the sleeving?

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......

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!

great post have used wago connectors and they are great.

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

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.
