All the benefits of the #Wago 221 series but now inline! Compatible with all conductor types, slim design great for tight spaces, 50% faster than crimps or screws. #Electricians
Nice video but you could have added one being used - how much insulation do you bare off for instance - I have ordered some to move a plug socket. I suppose it may be obvious when I get them?
@@timmedification I think you're correct as most suppliers are UK. Ideal is an American company and by contacting them, they can likely steer you to American suppliers.
I'm looking for them, too! It was just by accident I found out Wago even makes these. I love the 221 series, and have been dreaming of an inline. Wonder why we can't get them in the States? Hopefully not the dreaded "supply chain issues"...
i use the ideal 30-1342S have done for a good few years , im not sure where i would use these as the levers always say to me temporary but hey they make life easier thats for sure and its my mentalness not wago
Four years ago I needed to pigtail some wires in my sub panel and used the Wagos because to me they look neat and don't take a lot of space. Four years later I'm doing a panel change and those Wagos are still as snug as they were the day I put them in. As an added caveat, they're UL approved. A word of caution though, there seem to be a lot of imitations and knock-offs out there that are NOT UL approved, and they're pure chit. IMHO the REAL Wagos are the bomb.
Can I use these for a light switch cablr in the UK? I accidentally drilled in the cable which was in my wall for my light so I turned of my electricity and I am currently using them plastic blocks. The cable ran from inside my wall and into the light switch. I have currently cut the cable and was wondering if I can use these to join two ends together
@@thealien_ali3382 I know they're UL approved in the US, and CEC approved in Canada, but I'm not sure about the UK. I have used them here in the US to pigtail short wires in switch boxes and receptacles. Best I know it's not allowed anywhere to splice wires inside the wall. Most electrical codes that I know of require access to the splice. Here in the US you would have to pull a new wire or put in a J-box. If you know where the wire is damaged, I'm thinking you could buy a old work box and use that as your j-box. Cut a hole in the sheetrock just big enough for the old work box, pull the damaged wire into the old work box, and run a new wire over to the original box. You can make your splice inside the new work box and cover it with a blank or decorative wall plate. OR you could just cut a hole for a new work box, remove the old switch box, and fill the hole with a sheetrock patch.

It's next to impossible to find these in the states, but looking forward to trying them out.
You can order them online from various sources.
@@surferdude642 from a US supplier? If you know of any please share.

I see them all over in FL. I personally feel they are just junk. But that is myself and most of my coworkers.

would this work well for celling light ? have led light needs replacing never done it before
What's the difference between the -2401 and -2411?
The only thing I can see these used for is extended short wire inside a box
Bravo
That is a great reason to have them.

@@thealien_ali3382 yep you can
I'd put them in a junction box of some kind though
don't be the guy that buries exposed terminal connecters lol

Are they OK for Aluminum to Copper?
No, for that application you will need 227 series of WAGO connectors.
VAGO not UEGO!
Yes we're well aware that's the correct pronunciation thanks, V-A-R-G-O 99% of our customers refer to them as U-E-G-O
