need junction box advise

[bazaa]

Anyone know any good maintenance free junction boxes I can use to connect wires, theres 3 neutrals, 2 lives, 4 earths, so there's 4 wires coming into the jb 3 of them are 1mm and the other 1.5mm. So I need a JB that can fit all the wires, or should I just leave this one connected as the saying goes if it aint broke don't fix it.

if it aint broke don't fix it.

Xd No theyre not connected here anyway i connected them all up correctly and it was working, but since i have time what jb shud i get and use instead

Wired it all up correctly and its working but i rather get a secure connection since i have time before the plasterboards fo on, wondering what jb is good since i have 4 cables? Also if theres 4 earths doesnt the jbs have 3 slots usually

So why post a photo from before when you connected it correctly?

Nothing wrong with that one if it's been connected correctly.

i.e. earths sleeved, cables clipped, no unsheathed ones outside, box screwed down, lid put back.

Maybe:

Wiska KonnektIT Connection Box | Wiska (10112454 / WKKBOX)

WAGOBOX Pro - Maintenance Free Junction Box | Wago_Connectors (207-3323)

No personal experience of those models, but they seem to meet your requirements.

Definitely check out the wiring, what it feeds, sleeping the earths and maintaining continuity.

I’d venture to suggest if that is a sample of your wiring then I’d get it looked at before you doing anything else

I posted it on another forum at that time thought i'd get a quicker response cause I wanted an answer before I started to work on it also if i should even wire it up or just leave it and o get a jb since it looked like all of them wouldn't fit but I just went back wired it up and put it back up.

not my wiring as I said i can go take a pic of the newly connected ones if ur that desperate but rather not its too hot :] won't be able to rewire the whole lot either since it's only this room thats being replastered

When I said “your” I meant your homes wiring.

Even connected correctly its not maintenance free so not suitable to be plasterboarded over

hagar J804 is a good box it has 4 cable entries with clamp restraints and 16 terminals better than wagos, 4 for each L N and E
