Hi . In this video Im showing how to move double socket outlet that is on the ring final circuit into another location using Wago connectors.

Brilliant, no re-takes on the filming, just a honest show of skills. Thank you. Peace be unto you.

Excellent, simple tutorial and very informative.
Thank You.

Top tip: The CPC (earth) wires should not be twisted together in the sheathing.
They should be terminated separately in case one conductor became loose and not properly terminated it would not show up on an electrical safety test because it would show continuity even without a secure termination. You need to be able to tug each conductor separately to ensure a sound connection.

Many thanks for your quick and comprehensive reply.👍

Have you done a video on extending a light switch cable so I can move a light switch please

[fablan]

So you put the same colour wires trying to do an outside light so two lives go in one of the boxes

I have a couple of sockets on the skirting boards. The skirtings are 15 inch high. Not normal. Would I be ok to use this method to move the socket higher up the wall to let’s say approx 40cm higher.

That’s fantastic how did u know which of the two new cables fitted to which of the two old cables or does it not matter ? Fantastic video thankyou on behalf of everyone who has not said thankyou

[bigmanminivan]

Sorry not what I meant I saw the discription on which colour goes with which I mean there are two cables coming off the new socket it has an earth blue and a brown X2
The old one also has two cables (white) with earth black and red x2 (white cables how do you know which ones of the two white cables fits one of the two new gray ones or does it not matter ? Cher’s buddie fit the replie hope I’ve made sense

Could you move the socket using wago connectors and wago box, but then bury in solid wall and plaster over the top?

Hi. Curious. I understand it’s a ring, but rather than putting 2 cables into the new socket, can you WAGO the 2 existing wires together and then just one other cable to go into the new socket?

[rhysmorgan]

Make sure you isolate the ring main first, and don’t do this if you don’t have an approved voltage indicator

[olec]

And of course dont do this if you dont have a test meter and the ability to test the connections after and understand the readings

[Stoddyk]

Is this a safe thing to do using this method.

Hi, great video.
I use Wago connectors and boxes all the time, they're excellent. Do you know if it's legal to have them under the floor (inaccessible) if all junction box are supposed to be accessible?

[Akz-xcgu]

one question instead of the two wires to the new outlet would it be possible to use just one wire and splice the 2 cables using the 3 way connector?

[Mark-gfyw]

Those boxes should have been cable tied shut 👍

[bobbyhayday]

Would this connection be considered 'maintenance free' according to the regs?

[johno]

Hi,
Is the enclosure box needed by law if used under the floorboards? Or could the connectors be used on their own?

Best Regards,
Jono.

Could've just done an unswitched spur to the new socket
