Wago 773-168 Push Wire Connector – 8 Conductor – 10 PK

Wago and similar type wire connectors have been out for years with a proven track record ! Fast n Simple 14&12ga solid or twisted soldered end wires

Poor planning led to many wires in the junction box. It took up a lot of space and was very hard to make all of them connect so I tried these. They were very very easy to use. You just need to make sure that your wire is exposed about a half inch from the insulation. These made my life so much easier in that situation.

I'm in the process of doing some home remodeling, and i'm upgrading to smart wifi switches and new receptacles. These multi port Wago connectors make installing multiple devices in one box a breeze. Especially when connecting multiple neutral and multiple ground wires. I purchased both the 6 port and 8 port and it is so much easier to just push the wires into these connectors, vs trying to jam a bunch of wires into large wire nuts.

So, I am not a professional electrician, but I am in the school of thought that as long as my connectors are UL listed and code compliant, they are going to be adequate for my home.So I don't really care which connector is "best". These were good enough for my application.I had a junction box that had a bunch of 14/2s meeting, and I was going to have to make an unreasonably sized splice for the box (and the smart switches I was putting in).I used one of these to splice all my ground wires together, and I threw in a pigtail leading to a Wago 221. That way, all of the current grounds could be semipermanent but I'd have an easy job of swapping out devices.I used 221s for the rest of the box.Because these are rectangular, it was easy to fold the wires over. They also allow the wires to turn (rotate) in the jack, which helps with the folding over. They also stack. This all makes the box pretty easy to organize. You still have to work the wires, but they just end up have fewer unmanageable folds that take up more space than they should.I prefer the 221s since they are easily removable, but these semipermanemt ones are great for things that (probably) won't change (but still might). Also, they don't make an 8 port wago 221 and I wanted my 6 grounds and pig tail way in the back there.

I was having a problem figuring out how to wire a new 3 gang switch in our living room. I had a total of 7 neutral wires to connect together. This device was the answer to my dilemma. I have some extra, if you need one.

We are doing a basement remodeling and we used this in the ceiling. With the new lights and new mandatory wired smoke detectors we had seven 12- or 14- gauge wires coming together, and nuts obviously weren't the solution.This worked perfectly. Installation was easy and tight and it didn't take up much space.**One thing to note is that it is really intended for use with solid wires and not braided wires/multi-strand. If you are going to use multi-strand we suggest that you tin the ends with solder. That's what we did and it worked fine, grabbing the wires securely and making the Building Inspector happy.My husband commented that he really preferred this method of connection over nuts because you get a better sense that the connection has been made and that it's tight. He may never go back to wire nuts.

I have used these connectors several times. It really saves time and is much easier than wire nuts. You know each wire has a perfect connection.

These are such a simple and effective way to replace wire nuts. It is an easy visual to make sure your wires are in all the way, and take up less space. Twisting wires is an archaic artform left to the pros of old. Buy these and be happy with your work.
