How to add a new power distribution box?
In the bath was held one wire to a power outlet (2.5mm). I decided to add another line for the outlet, and so as not to touch anything in the old box, I pulled the line out of the bath, put a new box near the bath. A wire got there (the line from the bath will be like a supply line), added 2 new wires for outlets (2.5mm), twisted everything together and brought these new wires into the bath. Did I do it right?
Well, it would work, if everything was done normally. But there are a few buts:
1. Twisting can not be done. Cm. PUE. paragraph 2.1.38. Buy and install the terminal block or screw on the PPE caps to twist - this will be more reliable.
2. As I understand it, you just wanted to add 1 outlet in the bathroom, since before there was only 1 and you decided to make 2? Well then, it was possible to connect a cable to an existing outlet and would not make a new distribution box.

As a result, you have a new distribution box powered by the old one, and from the new one the line goes to the bathtub - this way you have extra connections. Why was it impossible to connect in the old one? Why not a train?
Enough 1 "But." I gave the rest as an alternative to your solution.

2. Yes, but the new outlet will be far from the old. Therefore, I decided to lay a new line. In the old place was not, and did not want to unwind. Do extra connections somehow affect the work?
1. A terminal block will not burn out over time? After all, there will be a washing machine.
the more connections - the more likely that some of them will fail.
The terminal block must be designed for the current consumption of the washing machine. In most cases, that's enough.
And one more question. Is it possible to connect everything in the junction box to the wago terminal blocks in the apartment?
Will it burn out over time?
If the terminal blocks are original and the oxidized wires do not stick in them, then they will not burn.
