[SteveT]

Using the "search" function of the forum reveals a number of previous discussions about Wago, and other makes, of push-fit connection.

Never had any dealings with these Wago connectors. From what i've seen of them so far, they look sound and quite capable of doing the job. What sort of costs are we looking at for these Wago connectors??

When I look at these wire connectors, and then think of the Yanks who STILL use Screwit type wire nuts, .....it makes you wonder about their claim to ''We have the technology'' ....haha!!! Believe me, ...There wiring systems and breakers are at least 30 to 40 years behind Europe in many instances.....

Thanks Zeespark,

What are the others with the lever type clamping called ?? They look even more solid than the Wago's....

 

[Zeespark]

Made by Ideal industries, I know a few guys on here use them. I have been sent a sample bundle from Wago, they are solid bud.

What's the cable tie for mate?

 

[Robojin]

bit of a pig to get wires out of should the need arise. i always try to leave one spare 'hole' so I can piggyback another if the need arises

Just rotate and pull, they will come out surprisingly easily

you do surprise me Larnacaman

the UK is very behind in getting this type of technology,

most of Europe, Asia, and Oceania have been using it for a few years now IME .

Not so sure about Europe Steptoe, but i can assure you most of the countries in Asia don't use them. Maybe Japan, but haven't any work experience there, only by means of factory inspection visits.

If they are available in HK and China, i haven't seen or noticed them about, as such.... No idea about Oceania, ie Aussie and NZ...

 

[revjames]

Sorry, been watching Harry Hill and misread the post thought it was 'Wagbo Connectors'............. :coat

 

[mattyevz]

I use them quite abit. Very good and easy to use. Wheres the free sample to?

 

[Zeespark]

Matty, if you are using them daily its not really worth going for the free sample, which is basically one of each type and a box. Its more geared towards the guys that havent used them before but to get to play with them a bit before commiting to buy a batch.
