Default Wago type connectors

I’m Wago man or similar brands where possible to use them. If not familiar with wago’s might consider them for common wiring jobs where twist on connections used. These are easy flip, stick wires in, close, and done. I use them on 120v down to 12V connections like garbage disposal, lights connection and my irrigation connections. Twist ons never know if got good connection if you have solid and strange wiring connection? With wagos good connection every time if make sure wire poked in all way. Icing in cake You can use them over and over. Makes wiring easy with several different types.

I redone my irrigation wiring wasn’t confident in twist on connections.

Wago sells "Wago Gelbox's" for damp/underwater applications. Underground electrical connections should be in a waterproof wire connector of some sort.

Yes, I use the set screw type and heat shrink spaghetti around them. Occasionally I’ll brush those connectors with liquid rubber if I think it’s warranted.

Nice work!

I like them also for low current.

Usually use a soldering iron first to tin smaller gague stranded wire.
