The only problem with the Click-Flow Push In Connectors is that the cord grips are useless when you are using 1mm OR 1.5mm T&E.
I mentioned this at a trade show once to Scolemore, all they could tell me is that they worked with 2.5mm T&E - FOR A DOMESTIC LIGHTING CIRCUIT!!! Who designs this stuff? |

I've made this point before also but the people who specify them on jobs don't seem to consider this!!! However the four-terminal ones (e.g. for emergency lighting/PIR etc) have a screwed on cable restraint which is much better. Why has this not been implemented on the three-terminal ones?
I also find that a lot of installers break off the cable restraints on the three-terminal ones (useless as they are anyway)!
