Tidying up the wiring to boiler in an airing cupboard. At the moment a 15A re-wireable feeding the old immersion point which had been changed to a surface mount double. Face of old socket all nicely burnt, terminals as loose as. Cabling checks out OK so intend treating the 2.5mm as a radial and upping the new opd to a 20A breaker in the new cu:
The boiler WAS simply plugged in via a plug top fitted with a 13A fuse:

Going for a "flush" as can be look. (Needs another lick of paint etc too). So switched 13A single socket on the right feeding a DP FCU labelled "BOILER" & fused down to 3A. Bottom entry flex outlet on the left and then the wireless stat above which will be the only thing "sticking out": (BTW 1200mm to the mid point between upper and lower back boxes as in split the difference).
Simple question really............not keen on the existing connector block. Would 5 separate , 3 terminal, lever Wago blocks be better? Thinking that'll looks like a rats nest. I could I suppose form a bit of galv strip to act as a "saddle" for the connector block. Is there anything like this to fit back boxes? Cheers.
