9 way wagos for earths and neutrals in 6 way light switches?
I've got some 6 way double light switches...
But how to connect the earths and neutrals in the back box? Are there available any 9 way wagos ? Are there available any deep back boxes? Or how? George |

Are there available any 9 way wagos ? only 8-way AFAIK, so link e.g two 6-way wagos to make a 10-way, I tend to use the push rather than lever ones for earths, purely because you tend to need more ways. Are there available any deep back boxes? 47mm? |

Getting 6+ earth wires into a back box's earth terminal might be rather difficult.
A 30A choc block connector might be a better idea with a link wire between t and the back box's earth terminal. Agree with having a deeper back box as it can be a difficult squeeze getting everything in and the faceplate on.... |
