Product Information

Full details

This Draper 4-way extension lead is designed for safely powering multiple household and commercial appliances. Its key benefit is providing flexible power access with a 5-meter cord and a neon indicator for power status. A potential caveat is its UK 3-pin plug, limiting its use to compatible outlets. It features four sockets, a 13A fused plug, and can be wall-mounted for convenience.

FAQs

What is the maximum power rating for this extension lead?

This extension lead is fitted with a 13A fuse, meaning it can safely handle a combined load of up to 13 Amps. Always check the power requirements of your appliances.

Can I replace the fuse in the plug?

Yes, the plug is fused and the fuse can be replaced if it blows. Ensure you use a replacement fuse of the correct rating (13A).

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should be kept away from moisture and damp environments.

How do I clean the extension lead?

You can clean the extension lead with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive cleaning agents.

What does the neon indicator light signify?

The neon indicator light shows that the extension lead is receiving power from the mains socket. If the light is off, there is no power reaching the lead.

Can I plug high-power appliances like heaters into this lead?

While it has a 13A fuse, it's advisable to check the wattage of high-power appliances. Direct connection of very high-wattage items like portable electric heaters or kettles to extension leads is generally not recommended as it can overload the lead or pose a fire risk.

Does this extension lead come with mounting screws?

No, mounting screws or fixings are not included with the extension lead. You will need to provide appropriate fixings for your wall type.

Troubleshooting

No power to any sockets

Check that the main plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Verify the neon indicator light is on; if not, check the fuse in the plug and ensure the wall socket is working by testing it with another appliance.

Neon indicator light is off, but appliances work

The neon indicator bulb may be faulty. While the lead is likely still functional, consider replacing it if a clear power status indication is critical.

Extension lead feels warm during use

This could indicate the connected appliances are drawing close to the 13A limit. Disconnect one appliance to reduce the load. If it remains warm with a light load, discontinue use and replace the lead.

Wall-mounting screw holes appear damaged

Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for your wall type. Do not overtighten screws when mounting. If holes are stripped, consider using a larger screw or a wall plug suitable for your surface.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the extension lead and ensure the cable is not tangled or damaged.
  2. If desired, position the trailing socket near the intended mounting surface.
  3. Secure the trailing socket to a suitable wall or surface using appropriate fixings (not included).

  5. Connect your appliances to the four sockets.

Compatibility:

  • This extension lead is compatible with standard UK 3-pin mains sockets and appliances.
  • The maximum load is determined by the 13A fuse; do not exceed this rating.

Care:

  • Keep the extension lead away from water and excessive moisture.
  • Do not use if the cable or plug appears damaged.
  • Periodically inspect the cable and sockets for wear and tear.
  • Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
