Questions & Answers
There are five Wago 773s in this picture A total of 773 push connectors are made by Wago in China.
The products are approved for use in residential applications. Commercials are not my strong suit
As for the wire, although I don't have the box in front of me right now, I believe it was solid or stranded (but not fine stranded wire), 10-gauge. The gauge would be 16 Wire of 14 gauge was fine stranded but I was not able to use it. The Wago lever arm wire nuts were what I used ultimately. They took 10 minutes to install, I believe As you slide the wire into the center, lock down the lever arm holding it in place and handle fine strands.
The wire might require some concerted force in order to be removed after it has been inserted, but after that you might be unable to reuse that slot.

It's great to have these things. You won't find them failing in a variety of settings for years. Don't believe what the surly electricians say. I've seen them used successfully for years in a variety of situations. When working with multiple circuits, the 8 conductor variety is ideal for keeping the neutrals and grounds neat Here is an example of a multi-gang switch box. Be sure to follow the directions! Trim the wires in the correct amount and ensure they're evenly spaced, and push them in all the way. It will never be a problem for you.
In comparison with a wire nut, it is less successful at holding wires in place. Using a single gang box, I had to connect 4 wires of 12 ga. plus one pigtail. Despite the fact that the wires behave like metal, the force it takes to put them exactly in the right spot causes them to break. Simply grab the Wago, pull it out of the box, and twist it so that the wires are disconnected. A wire nut, just as old-fashioned as the disrespected variety, has superior holding power and durability (when tightened with pliers until the wire starts twisting), and the Wago is smaller. This is why three stars are deserved. Wire layers are fine in cases where there is plenty of space in the box and enough area in the box to layer wires.
Suitable for solid 12/2 and 14/2 conductors, this Wago 8 point conductor is easy to use. Although it is compact and not as versatile as the 221 series Wago lever nuts, it is not available in an eight point version like the 220. Despite its value for money, this push connection, which is made in China, is not made in the USA.
I think these products are excellent. The enclosure does the job well and there is no need for modifications since they work just fine. I'm sorry to hear that Due to the lack of space in the boxes, I had a lot of difficulty trying to maneuver cables into the j-boxes An envelope. Wire bundles are super rigid when connected to the ring connector with 8 wires. You can trust these wire connectors to do the job. If you have space in your j-frame, you should be able to insert a image A wire bundle is manipulated with the help of a box.
You can take advantage of this when you have a box with many receptacles and a lot of cables entering and leaving. Two boxes need tying up, so I've got six ties to tie Together, they make up 8 grounds. As opposed to multiple wire nuts or smaller Wagos, this thing saves a lot of space. In this case, the wires are still securely held, even though it doesn't use levers like other Wagos do. Wires must be removed by moving back and forth between them.
The end of the wire nuts! We don't have to twist our fingers anymore. We don't have to cramp our In addition, you can see the copper wire ends through the clear plastic ends, so you know the complete connection is made. Additionally, it is easy to add another cable to a junction box. Essentially, it's very easy to separate the wires from a piece of equipment like this. I recommend that you purchase them!.
I used them to connect a number of WiFi There is not much space in the electrical box for wifi switches, so they tend to be bulkier. The wire nuts will therefore require too much space, and will obstruct the installation process. Compared to the push wire nuts, they are smaller and facilitate the coiling of multiple wires at the same time. If there are 8 people in the room, imagine how crowded that would be! With a wire nut, the wires are wrapped together in 12 gauge.
The crimp-on connectors are rapidly becoming obsolete. This is way faster, and it's far safer, than twist-on connectors. * Something has been commented here that stranded 16 gauge wire can work if soldered first. This will not work! It is strongly recommended that you do not use stranded wire for I'm very satisfied with the rest of my life.
