New consumer unit installation

[Pete999]

You can, for anything up to 2.5mm sq., also consider the Ideal in-line splices. In some instances these can make for a cleaner install compared to Wagos.

If you opted to go the Wago method, would that constitute a MF joint, or accessible?
Can't quite see how it will be MF as the cables wouldn't be secured etc, neither would the Wagos be accessible without isolating the entire CU, an interesting conundrum, ripe for discussion, or derision whatever stance you take.

Here’s a bit of Wago abuse, just for fun. It was published online by Professional Electrician. That one needed the full Pete treatment .

Can’t recall the exact price, but around £70ish. It was the Topjob connectors that pushed the price up.

Weidmuller screw terminals are the ones I generally use, will use spring terminals if there's a chance of vibration.

Not overly priced. I got a heavy discount as I got 1000s a month, but I think even list price they are under a quid.

The Topjob ones I speak, having just checked on the Connexbox web site, range from 50p to a £1 plus vat. Which was a bit cheaper, me thinks, when I priced a few years back.

As an aside, the job was around A3 time, and I got some conflicting guidance on whether this enclosure should comply (don’t shoot me, I know it’s not defined as). Interestingly, Connexbox did have some pretty pics of their plastic enclosure being used to extend new CU. I rang one of their reps, who was extremely annoyed of what was being said to me. However, I can’t find those pics on their web site now.
