The new Wago 221 series wiring connectors are 40% smaller than the 222 series, helping to further reduce space inside junction boxes. The compact, tool-less design is a great way of connecting cables. They are suitable for use with stranded and solid cables and are ideal for use in domestic or industrial wiring.
They are sure to speed up your installation work with their simple operation, and create a secure system that is less intrusive than older methods. Our electrical trainer claims that “Wago connectors are probably one of the best advances in electrical installation” that he has come across.
Can you reuse Wago 773?

How do you remove the wire from a Wago 2273?
Do Wago connectors meet code?
This is another reason why Wago connectors are a great choice. They meet all of the NEC code requirements regarding splicing and terminating conductors. For example, when splicing conductors you are required to use a splicing device classified for brazing, welding, or soldering with an alloy.
Which is better Wago or wire nuts?
wires nuts was the ability to have visual confirmation of connections. Wago lever nuts have a clear housing that allows you to see the wire inside it. This gives you the ability to actually see the wire touching the inside connector.
Many electricians that have never used a Wago lever nut never will. There’s no reason, they’ll tell you, because “a properly installed wire nut costs $0.01 and will never fail.” They’re right about not failing, about 99.9% of the time.
Are Wago connectors legal in the US?

Do electricians use push in wire connectors?
Professional electricians almost never use push-in connectors, and there’s a reason why. No pro wants to be called back to a job to correct a bad connection, and push-in wire connections are much, much more likely to fail than the standard screw terminal connections.
Can you use Wago in junction box?
Wiring in distribution boxes
Space is always in short supply for installation in a distribution box. Therefore we recommend using the 2273 Series PUSH WIRE® Connector for Junction Boxes.
The original model connectors accommodate all wire types ranging from 24 to 12 AWG. A 10 AWG model connects all conductor types ranging from 20-10 AWG.
