You can blame EFLI and stillp for having raised the (known to be contentious) issue of crimping solid conductors - particularly given that it is clear that the OP doesn't intend to use crimps!Hello Andy - if you're still there and not lost the will to live with all these side bar discussions. Last I read we were heading for outer space with NASA.
Indeed, and........ put a blank plate on where the socket was. Job done.
Indeed. That's fine. If you just use a blanking plate, the connections remain 'accessible', so any Wagos (provided they have adequate current rating and are appropriate for size of cable) are fine - they don't need to be 'maintenance-free'
I agree, although I fear that the installers would (for fairly obvious reasons) probably decline to express an opinion about the safe zone issue. The more important question (which is partially implicit in asking about the blanking plate approach) is whether it is acceptable to leave the wiring in place in the vicinity of the stove.I would speak to the installers again. Explain the predicament regarding the safe zone and ask them if a blanking plate is acceptable. If it is then use appropriately sized Wago or connector strips or whatever to continue the ring final circuit.
