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

    I have never encountered a problem in permanent buildings with choc blocks just suspended in mid air in an enclosure. 

    1. The wires tend to be short.
    2. The terminal is self supporting.
    3. The choc blocks can have two screws per connection with the copper being passed under the two screws.
    4. In machines or vehicles where vibration may be a problem, flexible wires may be best with adequate support.
    5. Wagos have spring loaded terminals to keep the conductors gripped relatively firmly.
    6. If dressing the wires is a problem, I use a bigger box.
