Wiska boxes with wagos

Baldyhugh

Evening all

I’ve been a fan of wiska boxes for a while now and have been more commonly using the 407’s which come with the 3 lever 221 wagos and a mounting block included. Whilst I find the wagos great for lighting circuits I find the mounting block a bit fiddly and as such tend not to use them, just tucking the wagos neatly into the box once terminated. My question is, do wagos need to be fastened or suppported on some way inside an adaptable box? 
 

thanks

    In my example I have plastic conduit entering the wiska box left and right and a flex exiting the box at the bottom via a compression gland. The conduit contains stranded seven core singles. They are at high level in a storage shed roof truss so will not be affected by vibration or being physically pulled out. 

    To clarify, the mounting block I was referring to is a small plastic housing that fixes to the inside of the wiska box and then the completed wagos ‘clip’ into it to hold them secure. The wiska website shows various adaptable boxes that they sell and some some supplied with wagos with no mounting block, some with wagos and a mounting block. There are also some ‘real world’ examples of their boxes in use and many show the completed wagos in the box unsecured.

    I have seen wago box where there is a slot for each wago to slide into to hold it in place which looks quite good but my situation requires an IP44 rating hence the reason for using the wiska 407.

     My question was do terminations whether traditional strip connections or wagos require securing in an enclosure generally
