A flex outlet, or flex connection unit, is used to hardwire appliances that do not come with a standard 13A plug directly into the mains electrical supply. This is often used for fixed appliances like showers, immersion heaters, or built-in kitchen appliances.
No, this 20A Flex Outlet is designed for hardwiring appliances and requires installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.
The screwless design provides a clean, modern, and minimalist aesthetic by hiding all visible screws. It also makes cleaning easier.
The brushed brass finish is designed to hide fingerprints. Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes.
A standard socket allows you to plug in appliances using a detachable 13A plug. This flex outlet is for directly connecting the wiring of an appliance to the mains, bypassing the need for a plug.
A 20A flex outlet can be used for appliances that draw up to 20 amps. This typically includes higher-powered items that are permanently installed, such as certain types of heaters, cookers, or showers, though specific appliance requirements should always be checked.
The product description mentions a moisture-resistant gasket, but it does not explicitly state suitability for outdoor use. Always ensure electrical installations meet specific outdoor safety standards if intended for such environments.
Ensure the circuit breaker is on and the appliance is correctly hardwired. Verify connections with a qualified electrician.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If discoloration persists, consult product documentation or manufacturer.
Ensure the internal mounting screws are tightened securely. The screwless cover should snap firmly into place.
Setup: This 20A Flex Outlet is designed for hardwiring appliances and requires professional installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. The installation involves connecting the appliance's wiring directly to the terminals within the outlet plate.
Compatibility: Compatible with appliances that require hardwiring and have a power draw up to 20A. It is designed to fit standard UK back boxes.
Care: To maintain its finish, wipe the outlet with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the brushed brass surface. The screwless design means regular dusting is straightforward.
