The Ultimate Guide to the Wago 221 Inline Connector

Brilliant video Gentlemen. Thank you.

Is it necessary to twist the wire strands into a pigtail before installing them in the connector? Or should I leave them straight (as is) immediately after removing the insulation?

Can I use wago 221 in wet area?

i was curious if one can secure these connectors down to wood with maybe a backing plate, I need to use a 5 way to connect grounds in an electric guitar cavity and an inline to connect the positives. I would like to secure these down in the body cavity so as to not move around. Some of the wiring has to be channeled down the middle. I saw you used some gray backing plates would those work and where do you get them? Thanks

Hi Guys, where do I get the accessory plate from that is used to mount the carrier plate into the light box. Is there a part number? Common electrical trade counters don’t seem to stock the accessory! Thanks

Ya don’t understand FREEDOM units? Maybe we don’t understand this Commie MM nonsense! In all seriousness, how are these when working live?

I use these connectors for car stereo installations and they are great.!

just something i do may or may not help but i put the tab with the writing on to the supply end that way at a glance i can tell what end has power and what end wont should a cable come out or something needs changing

I'm here for the strippers, brand and model please?

Are these a prototype…. I can’t seem to find them at any wholesalers. What is the the full product number.

This is why we leave service loops in the wall.

Ideal spliceline has been around for years and is much shorter than these look

Can these be used for AWG16 speaker wire

Another thing in the van that just sits there but when you need it it’s good to have it

Too long winded!

Can you use twin ferrules on Wago 221's?

Could anyone tell me the wago product number for the WAGO MOUNTING CARRIER for the light junction box shown on this video. Is it 221-2533 or 221-2523?
Does that include the click in/interface piece which clicks into the wago junction box light 207-3303?

Thanks

I worked for an electrical company and they about had a stroke and all but threatened to fire me when i brought up wago connectors instead of wire nuts. They didn't wanna hear how much time we could save. Wagos for these "old school" electricans is a very very dirty word

Where do i find the wago box for the splice connectors??

Easy solution is to use Hellerman Tyton crimps, waterproof ones are best as the most reliable connection
