I’ll guide you through safely preparing and splicing a piece of Romex cable. I'll quickly show how to cut and prep the wires, then use a splice kit, to ensure solid contact and a professional finish.

Gotta love all these wanna be sparkies that act like boomers when it comes to change. O No! This is junk because it's new! I know more than UL labs ans5thisnis junk.
I would be interested to see if there is a degradation of current flow through these connectors. A test similar to the one you did comparing wire nuts to wago connectors would be good to see. I can't help but feel that the "fork" splice will limit current flow and heat up under a max rated load.
As a quick fix, temporary, sure! Permanent in my own home? Not a chance. And if I hire someone to do this, I will never pay.
Maybe 10 years ago at a continuing education class they talked about these one time only NM cable splice devices. S couple of residential sparkies said they never had any problems with them.
The concept is neat but it looks a bit flimsy. Thank you for sharing
What could go wrong, metal squeezers on cheapy plastic onto not perpendicular wire cutter/grabbers. WOW NOPE
What could go wrong? Everything.
Yeah, unfortunately many of the switches and outlets in manufactured homes use similar connections. Not good.
It was pulled from Amazon, and it is not known if it will be back. That tells it all. The brand is TE.
Does this product have CSA approval. I wouldn't trust this product.
I would never use these in a house I sleep in !!!
Bare romex behind drywall. I would never do.
I'm pretty saw I viewed this a year or more ago.
Is that a non flammable splice?
Something to keep in mind, using these types of devices greatly reduces the surface contact of the conductor. This can lead to voltage drops, current drops and possible overheating at the connector. You want to maximize contact surface area.
Whether or not it's "approved" ( I haven't asked an electrician) but I've always learned toward using an insulated butt connector. That way you have maximum contact of the conductor. Again, I'd check with an electrician before putting it behind anything, like drywall or i the ceiling. I've only done this on external wires like extension cords, lamp cords, etc.
It isn't approved. Most approve butt-splicing devices outside a box look somewhat similar to this. Generally speaking these connectors, although approved, would be frowned upon by most electricians.
What bull s is this
The clamp into the box is not even correct
Definitely loose!
What about just soldering the wires and covering the wire with heat shrink tubing?
Knob and Tube
My Dad soldered many connections wiring houses. Junctions in boxes and open air connections.
"Friction Tape" for the insulator.
Before wire nuts and when lead was good!
What a horrible, dangerous idea. The area of contact is insufficient for its intended use. Not UL approved and no longer available on Amazon.
You think because it's not on Amazon, a site known for selling junk that makes it junk? Lol. You can buy them at Home Depot and yes they are UL approved.
Assuming the electrical fire doesn't kill you or your family the insurance company typically will want an investigation done before paying out any money, telling them that you saw a guy on TH-cam do it is probably not going to cut it with the insurance people...IMHO
Behind drywall? Can you say house fire???? So many issues have been linked to that style connection. As the wire lives it's life it expands and contracts and those are dissimilar metals meaning they expand and contract at different temperatures and different speeds which causes a fault in the connection by creating increased resistance which means heat which leads to fire. Then the wago is neat but still junk. Do it right the first time spend the extra and it pays off in the end. Temp circuits sure on both but long term no.
I love your channel and have watched for years. When you say "approved", who is approving this? Like you said at the end, I too love all things Wago. Keep up the good work, brother!
Approved by the city code inspector
