![]() ![]() I actually enjoy the work when using these. I ordered these because I was running low on my 2 port Wagos. I ordered a kit in the past with 2, 3, and 5 port. Other than this one minor issue, these are a marked improvement over wire nuts. All I had to do was pull out both switches, pop the loose wire back into the Wago lever nut and reinstall them into the box. A wire worked itself loose when another wire in the box snagged the lever on one of the Wago fittings. Install the wire properly and it is very hard to pull the wire out of the Wago lever nut.Īlso, if your ele ctrical box is crowded with a number of wires, be careful when pushing all of your wires back into the box. If there is a slight bend, the wire can work itself loose so be careful. The only con that I can think of is that the wire you slip into the lever nut has to be perfectly straight. This is a lifesaver especially when you have a number of wires running into your outlet box. The Wago lever nuts have a very low profile and should fit into any outlet box without any issues. I like the fact that each lever nut shows you how much wire to strip and that the levers snap shut firmly. They make the installation of outlets and switches a breeze and if I have to replace a ballast in a light fixture, I will be certain to use these nuts. I wanted to make sure it can handle 20 circuits.I wish I had known about these lever nuts years ago. I actually here today because I wanted to verify the amps that can be handled by this model. Just a bit of advise from using them now for almost a month. Because when pushing it back into electrical box, it, could slip out if not clamped on hard by the lever. One tip: I found that sometimes when I close the lever, the, wire might not always have a good secure fit, so now I give a tug on each wire to make sure the closed level has a good clamp on the wire. When the new model does hit the US, it should solve that issue. I have found that when trying to stuff a few Wago’s back into the electrical box the fit is tight, so they take up more room. Then I remove the test lamp and hook in the real device. I do this especially when I setup a connection that I’m not sure if with a test lamp. The main thing I like about them is that I can flip the lever and take out only one wire from the bunch. ![]() I’m not a certified electrician bit I’ve been telling all electricians I see about there (they are always in my complex). I ended up getting the present version, the gray 222 for now. Thanks for the updates! I’m eager for the new model. Update: These connectors cost around the same as the 222-series connectors, costing more by an almost insignificant amount. In the meantime, Wago USA offered reassuring words that the 222 LEVER-NUTS are NOT going away anytime soon. Pricing information will be available later in the year when the 221-series connectors are ready to launch in the USA. If you’re using something else, here is a link to the translated press release. The PR is in German, but if you’re browsing with Google Chrome, it should offer to translate the page automatically for you. For the USA market and applications, the 221’s maximum current rating will be based on its maximum conductor size – 12 AWG – and will thus be 20A. *Wago USA has explained that the 32A rating is in accordance with IEC and international standards. It looks like the new connectors are safety-rated for worldwide use. Temperatures up to 105☌, ambient up to 60☌.Accepts “fine wire” 0.14 – 4mm ^2, and 0.2 – 4mm ^2 stranded and solid wire.The maximum current rating will be 20A, the same as with the 222-series connectors. ![]() Plus, it looks like the new connectors have larger easier-to-lift levers.ĪND, according to the specs mentioned in Wago’s press release, they can handle higher current connections as well. ![]()
