WAGO 222 connectors review and demo. How to use with WAGOBOX Junction Box.

День тому

A review and demo of the WAGO 222 connectors. I show how to use the Wago 222 to create a lighting circuit, to connect and extend cables, and how to use them with the WAGOBOX Junction Box. I give a quick product overview with my thoughts on the Wago 222 series of connector blocks.

This helped simplify things a treat. I was very careful to check that the wires were dead after turning the fuse off at the CU, multiple checks with a tester. After that, a breeze. Didn't need the junction box in the end as the wago's fit into the lamp fitting rose quite easily. Many thanks!

This was a really helpful video haven't wired light fixtures where the fitting didn't include the built-in loop connectors was stumped at the best way forward. Purchased the wago basic installer box and completed the installation of all 5 fittings. The video helped me save time, provide guidance as to a better way of connecting a loop lighting instead of old chocolate block fitting and gave me the refresher needed to do this job as amateur DIY'er. I am very happy with keep up the good work.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 6 років тому

Hi Jordan, If you watch my video How to fit a ceiling light. Lighting circuits explained - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oYFyp2uxqGNkk5c.html, this will show you how to wire the first light. Then watch my other other video, How to install LED downlighters PART 2 - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fJqldmyGpaCnzXk.html, this will show you how to wire more than one light off the same switch (it doesn't have to be downlights, it works for all lights). In brief, once you have your first light wired, just take another length of cable connecting the live wire to the switched live you have created on the ceiling rose or junction box for your first light, then neutral to neutral, and earth to earth and run the cable direct to the next light. Then just connect earth to earth, live to live and neutral to neutral on the 2nd light terminal/connector. Hope that helps, good luck and thanks again for watching!

@danhenshy23 3 роки тому

Great video as ever! I'm changing an old ceiling light/fan which once I get down, won't go back up easily, but I'm keen to take a look at the wiring before I install the new fitting. Is it save to remove the old light and place the cables into wago connectors for the time being?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 роки тому

Yes but firstly ensure the power is turned off and make sure the loop wires are in the one connector block, neutral in another, earth in another and switched live (for switch) is isolated on its own connector block. Take a photo of your wiring first and maybe tape and identify the wires first to make sure they go back the same way. If you just have one cable with 3 wires, then one connector block for each wire. Hope that helps.

@danhenshy23 3 роки тому

@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE great, that's what I thought. Dont suppose you have done/seen a video on removing an old ceiling light/fan have you?

@jonathanmcrae3728 6 років тому

Would these wagos be okay in a suspended ceiling without box? Just thinking I will be able have access by gentle pulling through a downlight hole.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 5 років тому

You need the cables secured together which is what the box does. You can put them inside the metal enclosure of a metal light fitting for example, but the moment they go out of sight, they should be secure so if pulled, you pull on the cable and not the individual wires. Thanks for watching!

@ronaldomac566 4 роки тому

If you swap out an traditional ceiling rose and install a new modern light and use Wago connectors. Do these have to be put in a junction box or can you just push them back into the ceiling...? cheers

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 4 роки тому

Junction box to make the main connections, but where you connect the final cable to the light, you can just leave the wago connectors behind the metal light fitting if you need to use them. Most modern lights will have a connector attached and already earthed to the metal light fitting.

@tubemonks 5 років тому

Can these be used inside a metal wall box without the plastic box? I need to extend a double socket further along the wall and there isn't enogh cable to use the Wago box as well. Can I simply connect the wires inside it and extend the wires into the new metal box? Maybe wrap some insulation tape around them for extra protection?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 5 років тому

Yes you can put them in a metal box. You don't need tape around them in the metal box as I presume you wont be able to tug the cable once their in place? They are fully insulated if fitted correctly. You only need the box in the ceiling or under the floor. Best of luck.

@bentalbottalbot 6 років тому

Good vid mate.. I guess a little limited in the wago box as to how many connectors you can get in there.. I am replacing a loop in loop out ceiling rose with some spotlights 3 on one switch and 3 on another. So would need to put 5 cables in one box. Do you think that is possible. If not I may just shove all the wago connectors up in the ceiling..

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 6 років тому

It's possible to get the cable but not 5 connectors in the right slots. But if you try the wago 773 series connectors, you can get 6 connectors (with 4 terminals on each connector) in the wagobox unit. They are only rated for lighting circuits but perfect for what you want. I've done a review here - Wago 773 connectors review and demo - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/e6pjnqKcZ2yU03U.html. Also watch my other video to see how to link the LEDs the easy way - How to install LED downlighters - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fJqldmyGpaCnzXk.html. Hope that helps.

I want to use led stripe lights around my chandelier. I want to tie into the chandeliers junction box power supply. Does the led stripe light need its own junction box to convert the led ? Sorry, I'm really confused🤔

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 6 років тому

Hi there, a junction box is just where the connections join, but if you're using LED strip then you need to make sure they are the correct power rating. Mains electricity is 230 - 240 volts in the UK. If your LED strip light is 12 volt then you will need a transformer to reduce the power. Best to speak to the shop selling you the strip light and get the right advice. If you're still unsure how to do it then you will need to get an electrician to install them correctly. You don't want to burn the house down! Hope that helps. Thanks or watching!

@loftie121 2 роки тому

Looking to add sockets to an existing ring main... once I've cut into one of the existing ring cables, one existing leg is long enough to feed to the socket. So would I only require one wago junction box with 222 connectors to link the other end of the existing ring cable to the new leg? Only reason I ask is because I read on a forum that if your adding to the ring main you need two wago junction boxes (at either end of the new socket added to the ring, due to the connectors being down rated to 24amp). Or is it possible to get connectors rated to 32amp? Hope my question makes sense, Thanks in advance

@TheKikoyy99 2 роки тому

The connectors I have are 32A rated, so you would only need 1 junction box, feeding from your ring main circuit (should be a wire coming into the existing plug and a wire out to another pre-installed plug), all you’re doing is spurring a radial from a ring main circuit, which is perfectly fine to do, just make sure the connectors are rated to 32A and you’re only adding 1 socket from your ring main and you should be fine 👍🏻

If you have six wires you need to put them all back into the single socket so double up the wires in each terminal. it should be exactly the same as the back of a double.

Good video! I was just using something similar today (the ones without the levers). I needed to install LED light in the ceiling, there was only a wall light in the room. Is it SAFE to connect the main electrical cable to new cable using these connectors and install into the wall? As the wall cable was only 10cms. I used cable tubing over cable and plastered over the cable and the "wago connectors" the led does not jave earth so i taped it off with electrical tape and wrapped the end around new cable for led. I could not use junction box between the new couplings as it would not fit in wall, without having to break brics under plaster layer. Is it safe for wago connectors to be plastered/cemented direct i to wall? Many thanks!

You need to know what the cable is on the LED panel, then check the box to see if the Wago will safely accept your cable wires. Best of luck with it.

Can them connectors be used to hardwire a oven and hob to the power cable?

@yankis. 3 роки тому

Completely fine for most electric ovens and gas hobs, just make sure your equipment does not exceed 400 volts, 32 amps and 4000 watts (max values for Wago 222 connectors). If your hob is induction though, it is not recommended. Generally induction hobs are wired directly at the fuse box with a proper cable or using a 45A cooker outlet.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 роки тому

Always use a proper junction box with the correct rating for your oven and hob. Ovens and hobs use a lot of power and often require they're own cable hard wired from the consumer unit in which case you need to use higher rated connector. If in doubt call an electrician. Thanks for watching!

@grahamd5418 Рік тому

I dont room to either push all the connectors into a junction box or push the box into the ceiling hole. Can I just push the blocks into the ceiling without the junction box?

Where does the fan light cable go on ceiling light fan?

Not sure what you mean sorry.

@ChrisJM001 5 років тому

You can't fit two of the 5 connectors in each side of this box as stated, ('if you're using 3 or more you can only fit 2 in each side'). You can only fit 2x5 plus 2x2 in total, or 4x3, definitely not 4x5. I have a rose fitting with 4 wires connected to it, so I need 3x5 and 1x2 and they will not fit in this box! Does anyone know if the 773 fittings will fit in this box, I'd need 1x6, 2x4 and 1x2? Or is there a larger Wago box?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 5 років тому

773 are smaller and designed specifically for lighting. You can fit 6 4's inside the box if that's any help. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Hi mate I love your videos always clear etc so I can use these to say slip wiring to a socket under floorboards and feed an additional live to a fused box for a kitchen extractor ? (3amp) thanks

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 4 роки тому

Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you're looking to run power to a fan from a ring circuit (with sockets) then you need to run the cable from either a socket or junction box to a fused switch with a 3amp fuse, then from this switch to the fan. That allows you to safely isolate the fan if required, and makes the wiring safe by protecting it with a 3 amp fuse. It's called a fused spur. No video on this yet, but hopefully one day when I have time!

@kevinhancock4064 4 роки тому

@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE hi thanks for your reply yes I already have a fused isolation switch a white 1 for now I'll changing it to silver eventually obvs as u stated with a 3 amp fuse im hoping and if you can quote me on thus if im right to fund a junction box under floor boards that are for the sockets in kitchen to that affect wire from this junction box chased down to the isolation switch (3amp) then from that switch back up through the chase then back down to the extractor (non ducted ) ??? Thanks in advance

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 4 роки тому

@@kevinhancock4064 your kitchen wiring if it's fairly new, should be on its own circuit so prob no junction box to sockets. There maybe a junction box on the circuit with a spur to the switch in which case you only need to go from switch to fan. That said, when messing round with existing electrics there could be any number of issues with the existing set up. Having it tested and inspected by a qualified electrician will ensure the existing circuits and any additional wiring will be functional and safe. Depending on what you intend to do, it maybe noticfiable work which would require it to be signed off by a qualified electrician. Hope tgat helps and best of luck with it!

@Dbass91 2 роки тому

Hi Paul, the Wago is just a metal bar with x ammount of spring connectors. You can have a theoretically Wago with 100 ports, and still use just 2 of the ports. Though the smaller Wago the smaller volume it takes up in a junction box.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 роки тому

Yes of course, they don't all have to be used.

Get a professional in

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 6 років тому

Hi Ingrida, I would agree with Arcane, if you really don't have an idea of what you're looking at then you should employ a professional. I couldn't advise based on that information. However, if you want more detail on fitting lights then please watch my other video , 'How to fit a ceiling light. Lighting circuits explained. Replace and install a light fitting'. - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oYFyp2uxqGNkk5c.html. This will explain it a lot better than I can by typing. Hope that helps. Let me know how you get on and thanks for watching!
