Hi,
I'm going to be wiring quite a few mains double-sockets shortly.
All of them are simply on a ring, with one having a spur.
Question is, if there are only two wires entering each terminal, should
they be folded back to give a better purchase - or does it?
So many opinions elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask the greatest minds.
Ta.

If it is a single wire (like the end of a spur or radial) then I would
normally do a fold. For two or more wires, I don't. (and I don't twist
them together either generally, since that makes the job of someone
testing later much harder)

Depending on the manufacturer/brand of the socket you may find two off
folded wires will be difficult to fit.

Don't fold, don't twist, where there are two or more, where there is
just one, fold.
