Wagos on Final Ring Circuits

[John-SJW]

Fitted some 32A triple pole sockets a few years back with push fit connections. Lifted a plastic pin pushed conductor in then pushed pin back down. Wasn't sure about them but they gave no problems.

Not UK 13A 3 pins. What were they?

Looking back at original posting to see what its all about, in ~13 JSJW quotes a method for terminating to socket outlets.
I use wago's to terminate for testing at first fix stage but then disconnect and terminate the single core conductors straight into socket terminals for second fix (re-using the wago's eleswhere).
I think (although never tried it) phaffing about with flexible conductor (extra cost and time) which 9 times out 10 would need a ferrule to terminate correctly would be less efficient?

It is quicker leaving in the Wagos.
30 sockets, which is normal in many homes, can have 90 flex tails. Easy and much quicker when the tails are fixed to the sockets on a bench. Then a sinch in pushing them back into the boxes, with no stress on the terminals.

Also, no terminal has more that one conductor in it. Current only flows through the socket terminals when that socket draws current.

The sockets terminals are not used as junctions, carrying the final ring's load. The superior Wagos with one conductor in each slot, carries the load.

Much superior method.
Safer all around.
Quicker to install.
Eliminates stress on conductors and screwed terminals also.

It can knock a day off an install.
Cables all tested on 1st fix.

Well that is an MK brand name.

Going "Commando" is something completely different !
