MortarThePoint Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Laying wires for smoke alarms and wondered if the terminals support 2no 1.5mm2 cable. I want to daisy chain. Thinking of AICO EI146E alarms. Using 3core and earth provides the interlink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Don't waste money on 1.5mm, totally unnecessary. Use 1mm 3 core & earth and the terminals are large enough for three of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the wires need ferrules or are they OK going straight in? Some terminals are more fussy than others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 No, I am not aware of any domestic accessories that need ferules. That is mainly for terminating stranded cable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
