wago

[dingledong]

my experiance with this stuff was years ago in certain wall lights and drum fittings. later if there was a problem it was always at these places where you had pushed the wires in . so i dont really trust them . am i wrong are they now the bees knees or do people still get problems with them

 

[Mark_Burgess]

nothing wrong with the wago branded push in terminals.

 

[telectrix]

or the lever type. an excellent product all round . try using the line downlight kit next time you fit downlights, saves loads of time, and doesn't cost a fortune.

 

[dingledong]

ok i will do but when the house burns down i have notified my solicitor thats its you that told me to use them
he he

 

[telectrix]

don't knock 'it till you've tried it. ( as the bishop said to the abishop )

 

[polo1]

^^^^^^ as the man says!

cant beat line products, highly recommend saves loads of time either with wago connectors or ideal or even rapid do some push in connectors very cheap, cant recommend line products enough, try wiring feed in feed out on lights coupled with switch and permanant live for a fan much quicker with line jb

Have to agree with all the above. LineProducts (link to the left) sell the enclosures, push-connectors and even MF kits which allow you to hide your connections under the floorboards and still comply with the regs.
I can honestly say that I will never use a standard terminal box again after using the Line kit.

 

[telectrix]

a point worth mentioning with the line enclosures is that you can screw in a 20mm stuffing gland at each end if required.

If line was stocked at my wholesalers then I'd be able to use them. I have repeatedly told my wholesaler about them and even showed them a sample which they liked. But they've still not stocked them

 

[telectrix]

so buy direct from line products. it's easier than ebay.

 

[mickys86]

I know it's much easier than eBay. And I will for my private jobs but I work for someone so I'm limited to where I get the stock from

There is more to being MF than simply the connectors, hence the Line kit.

I love wago's, I haven't tried the in line yet.

Warning:- A certain national wholesalers have been selling imported knock off 5 lever wago's. By itself it looks the part but place it next to an original wago and you can see the difference. I think another member might be starting a thread on this later. Don't be mugged lads, check them when you buy them.

 

[hermetic]

there is no problem with them .................now. It will be twenty years or so before houses start burning down. I have a workshop full of flourescent fittings with push in beryllium bronze connections, they lasted about ten years! Personally I would never use them. Like a lot of crap ideas nowadays, they have more to do woth industry lobbying government in order to lower standards to make the ever powerfull quick buck.

Just like all products, when others bring in "like" products some will match quality and others will bring in cheap look-a-likes.

LINE has sourced some of the lever connectors that we have had tested and chemically analysed to ensure that they are up to standard. If the wholesaler you refer to is one of ours then they are fine.

What wholesalers stock your product?

What wholesalers stock your product?

In Reading, Wilsons (or if low on stock they can get from Guildford or Horsham who keep larger stock quantities). CEF can also get them in from another branch.

Please PM the other wholesalers you use and I will see what I can do!
