Tip of the Day: Wago Lever Wire Connectors for Outstanding Butt Splices

Got two wires want to splice together with a rock-solid connection? John Dvorak recommends WAGO Lever Wire Connectors. They’re Lego-like connectors that grab and connect wires. He further claims they are an outstanding product for DIYers and home hobbyists. At NoAgendaFun, we’ve used to for some home wiring and they’re indeed awesome!

John Dvorak: Okay, this is a very interesting tip. Anyone who adopts this process and starts using these things will forever use them. That’s the way to go. It’s called—and there are a couple of brands, but the one I’m going to cite is the Wago. And I’m talking about the WAGO lever nuts.

Adam Curry : Lever nuts?

John: Which is also called a Wago lever connector. These are little devices, you know how when you splice wires, you tend to take the two wires, put them against each other, twist them around, then put some electrical tape around it and you got your wires sliced?

Adam: Wait, don’t you have one of those orange things you twist on top of it?

John: You could, but it’s nothing compared to these little orange things. You open the levers, stick a wire in one side, a wire in the other, flip the levers down. The thing’s solid, rock-solid. It’s one of the greatest little tools for anyone who works with wiring and isn’t a pro and doesn’t want to solder the wires. This is the way to go. A very interesting product. A very good product!

Adam: Lever nuts. I want to take a look at this product. Wago lever nut series 221. Oh, okay. And now, when have you recently been putting wires together?

John: When you have a fixture in the ceiling, this is the perfect time to use them, because you’ve got wires to deal with over your head. No, no, no—you want these things.

Adam: Oh, this is good. They even have the 221 series for hazardous locations.

John: And the thing is, these things are also built like little Legos, so they can click together.

Adam: That is what I would call an outstanding Tip of the Day!
