This is the first but not las of your videos I have seen I have now subscribed. Can these inline connectors be used in a garage consumer unit?

[nickcottom]

Absolutely superb information Carl. Keep up the good work.

Safety Glasses for doing that!!!!
Do those particular connectors deal equally well with solid and stranded conductors...what if ferrules have been fitted to stranded???

[EmmaDee]

Can’t tell if you are pushing in the top or bottom on each side

I get moaned at by other sparkys for extending cables, as they think its part of being a sparky for struggling with sockets, wish these sparkys would the job right in the first place.

Nice! Could you not use a single wago 221 on the neutrals and then fly a single neutral to the socket from that? I’m just thinking half the materials.

[tracymcgee]

if you have 3 sets of wires in one socket that are too short can you use nine of the connectors ?
