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

    Thanks for the replies everyone. There were some comments regarding whether the cable was supported externally to the enclosure wiska box where the wagos were housed. In my example there is plastic conduit entering and exiting the enclosure left and right. This conduit contains stranded conduit singles cable so there is no way of supporting it, but in my opinion it doesn’t need supported as it is lying horizontally in the conduit. There is a flex leaving the wiska box going to a laminate suspended on chain. There is a compression gland in the wiska box where the lighting flex passes through thus providing support. Externally the flex is cable tied to the lighting chain. I believe that this provides adequate support but was curious if as a general rule, terminations in an enclosure required fixing in place. The replies seem  to indicate that it’s up to the installer to decide. As a matter of interest, has anyone used the 407 wiska box with the mounting plate to hold the wagos and if so what are your thoughts in them?


    thanks
