T.station 10 pack # 50675.
Would a terminal block with an enclosure do? I have spare terminal block here at home.

I appreciate its not as quick as using WAGO connections. However this is just a one of DIY job for our home

How about a terminal block and an enclosure like this one? https://www.screwfix.com/p/debox-2sl-in ... tid=314085

I have spare terminal block sitting around somewhere. This is just a quick job for our home really.

Safe?

Thanks for all the advice and helping me see the solution to this. I’m looking forward to getting the new fan installed as the current one no longer works - but it wasn’t the best when it did work anyway.

Love a bitta DIY me.
