Pool wiring, wago connectors

[ryan24]

Hi all

If wiring a pool on a 32amp breaker using 6mm cable for heater and wiring the pump of the same circuit. What would be the best way to join 3 x 6mm cables together in the junction box? The reason is the armoured in connected to heater then coming of that to feed fused spur for pump. Looked at using wago connectors but the heater is wired using flex which won't work on 6mm wago connectors

Thanks in advance

Nothing wrong with connector blocks. Nothing wrong with crimps either

What about twisting them together and wrapping tape round it?

Works for some countries! Thankfully not this one.

So you want to common 3x 6mm² together, one of which is flex? Simplest is something like these screw-terminal commoning blocks:

Unlike Wagos they will acccept 6mm flex although you'll want to ferrule the flex ends.
OTOH if there's room to pop-rivet an inch of top hat DIN rail in the JB it would be neater to use low profile 1-in 2-outs.

Wagos accept stranded, just not fine stranded. How many strands and what is the strand diameter?
Tip.. may have to purchase a micrometer
