WAGO 773-173 41 AMP Rate, Transparent HOUSING, 400 V Rated, Push-in Actuation, 3-Conductor, Push Wire, RED FACE, (50 Count), AWG 10, Connector for Junction Boxes

Wago connectors are truly one of the best innovations in the electrical wiring world. While renovating my basement, it became quite cumbersome to use standard wire nuts on larger gauge wire, going to larger equipment. These really saved my bacon (and my fingers!) with how quickly they install, and with such ease! I'm a newbie to using these, and I found it really simple to install using my hands, with needle-nose pliers, regular pliers.. it was all so simple. The best part was that if I needed to remove the connection to make an adjustment, I could pull it out and there weren't any twisted wires like the standard twist connectors have.

Order accurate, as expected, use them to wire 10 gauge solid copper for electrical heating systems, works well. Have used a number of their other products for a few years but they only go up to 12 gauge. All are much nicer than twist on wire nuts - more secure, less damage to the wire if you need to disconnect, much quicker and neater.

Works great for solid, stranded can be done if you tin the wire well but it's tricky. The lever ones are nicer for stranded of course but who's surprised there? These make working in boxes a breeze and still hold tight.

Doesnt get easier th use than this

Better than wire nuts

Makes sense to me but time will tell about heating at the connections. Especially recommended for short conductors in switch or duplex boxes. I live in California and nothing will meet code for long unless it's made fro straw or hippie beads.

The Wago push connectors are great. They make terminations in home wiring much easier in junction and switch boxes.

compared to the four and six wire Wago connectors, the three wire connector was much more difficult in which to push the wires. A twisting motion and use of lineman's pliers to get the wires to enter was often necessary.
