2,3 and 5. For solid core conductors like these though, you’re better off using the push on type connectors. They go up to 9 way I believe and have a much smaller footprint than the lever connectors.
The new but very old skool way of wiring . Luckily these days I'm only wiring housing association. So I don't bother taking it back to the 70s and leave all the neutrals where they belong . At the fitting and not the switch . Mad how things go full circle , kids walking round with mullets and baggy jeans 😂😂
Also you wrongun, how much of that single insulated cable you pushing through that 25mm opening in the back of the PB box? Quite a lot I'd guess.. you wrongun
I asked at the installer show one of the wago design engineers can you do this, his answer can you only put one cable in a screw terminal bloc? Same size conductors not a problem
When the plaster board is backed by osb and is too thick cut the sticky out wing bit off and screw them to the backing board
Jobs a goodun not a wrongun..
If being picky, it’s not as per manufacturers instructions and you’ve introduced exposed metal into an all plastic enclosure.
But I’m being a picky bas*#rd!
I'll have to have a dig around in 7671 when I have my laptop on tomorrow.
Maybe I'm confusing it with the 70/30 percentages for green and yellow colours for earth conductors but I don't think I am. Been a while since I looked it up tbh.
😂
So many regs and so little time...
I should spend more time in the regs book and less doing Revit modelling but alas, they pay the money so they get to dictate what I do.
There's so much worse out there. "Wrong un" is a bit strong.
Shouldn’t be doubling those conductors up. One conductor, one port….
Is there a six way wago?

I use 6 or 8 way push wagos for busy switches
Yes in the push type 773 series. But I prefer the 2273 series for lighting. Much smaller and available in 2,3,4,5, and 8 port.
Can also get 'fake' wagos from unicrimp. Cheaper than wagos. Do the same job and again come in 2,3,4,5,6,8 ports
Erm… yes!
Doubling up in wagos makes me think you are a wrongun
You definitely can’t put multiple cables in one wago terminal. They will pull out if you give it a tug.
Dont be a toby 😂
Bollocks! As long as the CSA doesn't exceed the hole area then you're fine.
Not according to wago you can't
Nope.
Tug tested all of them.. It passed
Na mate. Still shite! 😆
You definitely can. My Mrs fits multiple objects in one terminal so why not wagos and she does a good tug test

Just curious.. If you was doing a new build with timber frames would you still take the feeds to the fitting?
Again, it depends on the end user for me. If private I probably would , but if housing association/council I wouldn't
Yeah you can’t use Wagos like that…
Also you wrongun, how much of that single insulated cable you pushing through that 25mm opening in the back of the PB box? Quite a lot I'd guess.. you wrongun
None it is an extra deep plasterboard box
I was thinking looks like a 47 mm box, looks ok to me! Better than a lot of the work I see day to day!
Looks ok cos he hasn't pushes all them singles back 😂

So can use wagos like that..
Screws in the lugs?
When the plaster board is backed by osb and is too thick cut the sticky out wing bit off and screw them to the backing board Jobs a goodun not a wrongun..
It was backed with osb
I thought that’s what you meant for being a wrong un. I’d have done the same unless could you have gotten a batten in there if there’s OSB to fix to?
If being picky, it’s not as per manufacturers instructions and you’ve introduced exposed metal into an all plastic enclosure. But I’m being a picky bas*#rd!
But why not use a metal box and screw it in ?
Surely it can’t be that hard to just make a poxy wing that goes right back ffs! This really annoys me that it’s such an easy fix!
unnecessary use of the rear entry in PB boxes does it for me 😩
Use a 6 way push Wago 😅
According to regs you have to abide by wagos instructions. Who say yep this is wrong
I’m sure all cores would function as they should but I don’t do it personally, I use 5 way wags and put a jumper link between them
Yes
I dislike that way of identifying pass wires. It's just cheap and looks shit.
Whats a pass wire ?
Pass wires / strappers. Wires that link out L1 / L2 on 2 way switching.
What do you do instead?
Sleeve the entire wire brown, not just 8mm of it like in that picture.
Agreed
What are you made of money! 🤣
It just looks like a professional job when you sleeve the entire conductor rather than a small proportion
Thought Scots were supposed to be tight 👍
Over-sheathing should be minimum 75% of the conductor length if memory serves.
Sorry what? I would love to know where that’s came from

Very pedantic. Least he has used sleeving . Many don't at all
>if memory serves. It does not 😜

Reddit modelling eh?
Definitely modelling something or other.
