The box has 3 * 2 wire 773 connectors which are yellow plastic.
773 should be good for up to 2.5 mm and 24A so presumably are
suitable?
Can someone please confirm?

As the 773-102 is only rated to 24A, but the ring will likely have a
32A MCB, really you should use a 222-412 wago connector instead.


Thanks - that was something which was nagging at the back of my mind.

We have RCBOs but the same principle should apply.

2.5 T&E is not rated to 32A, nor does it need to be on a 32A MCBed ring.

Well, the RCBO is rated at 32A.

However on a ring main the load should go both ways.
Unless one part of the ring fails.

Ummm....
