A couple of questions:

(1) If Wago 222-412 connectors are out of reach under screwed down
floorboards do they have to be in a protective enclosure? If so, what?

(2) Due to false positives from a detector suggesting old wiring was still
live, my 13A ring extension stops short of the point where I need to cut
into the ring.

Can I be lazy and just add an extra length of wire to each side using the
Wago connectors (presumably just like adding another socket to the ring)
or do I have to pull out the existing new wires and run in a longer pair?

Cheers

Ah.
Looks as though it should be in a box.

My one Wagobox doesn't seem to have enough room to stack 3 222-412
connectors on top of each other (unless I am doing something wrong) so I
can't join both legs of the ring inside one Wagobox.

So that just leaves the question of the two part connection.


Cheers

You can get six 412 connectors, or four 413 connectors, or two 415 plus
two 412 connectors in a normal wagobox (do you have a wagobox-light?)

You *are* putting them in the slots with the levers facing sideways,
aren't you?

This is something new to me.

Are Wago connectors intended for structural mains installations,
or just for industrial systems?

Bugger!

No I'm not.

Hence the question; thanks.

Anywhere you want a maintenance free joint basically.

And very handy they are too, if connecting to short lengths of otherwise
fixed wiring in tight spaces.
