Wago Lever-Nuts mark 10-year anniversary

Germantown, WI – July 2013 – Wago’s 222 Series Lever-Nuts lever-actuated splices celebrate 10 years of reducing wiring time by up to 50%. A versatile, labor-saving alternative to twist-style splices, orange lever eliminates twisting, taping and crimping. Simply lift the lever, insert a stripped conductor and lower it. This also provides reusability, giving Lever-Nuts a unique, cost-effective edge over traditional splices.

Simply Safer:

UL listed, touch-proof Lever-Nuts carry ratings up to 600-V, 20-A max current capacity and 105°C insulating material temperature. Cage Clamp Compact Spring Pressure ensures maintenance-free, vibration-resistant connections. Every model, from two to five conductors, accommodates solid and stranded conductors AWG 12–28 (one conductor/pole) in one unit. Soon, a prominent Wago logo will join the molded-in ratings on Lever-Nuts housings, symbolizing safety, usability and long-term contact quality.

Simply Anything:

Worldwide approvals and intuitive, tool-free operation have made Lever-Nuts a staple among electricians, OEMs and DIYers. Unique applications include:

  • Controls — PLC wiring for reverse-osmosis water purification system.
  • Vehicular — Interconnect lighting/communication devices aboard military vehicles.
  • Machinery — Fan motor power leads with capacitor to limit electrical “noise.”
  • Appliances — Internal wiring, e.g., commercial laundry, food service and HVAC.

Simply Facts:

5,000 miles. If all Lever-Nuts sold were lined front-to-back, they’d stretch from Brookings, OR (westernmost contiguous U.S. city), to Eastport, ME (easternmost contiguous U.S. city), and return to Wago’s Germantown, Wis. HQ.

  • 480 A and 5 G. Lever-Nuts withstands 480-A short-circuit currents (for one second), and vibration from 5 to 2,000, 5G.
  • 5–2,500 pieces. Lever-Nuts packs for all projects from clamshells (select DIY stores), to JUGO-NUTS jars and bulk cartons (electrical distributors and OEMs).
