FAQs

Does this product come with a cable?

No, this is a rewireable socket body only. You will need to purchase the appropriate length and gauge of 3-core cable separately.

Can I use this outdoors?

No, the socket is IP20 rated, which means it is intended for dry, indoor use only.

What is the maximum amperage this can handle?

The unit is rated for 13A. You should never exceed this total load across all four sockets.

Is this socket compatible with standard UK plugs?

Yes, it is designed to BS1363 standards, making it fully compatible with all standard UK 3-pin plugs.

What should I do if the power indicator light stops working?

If the unit still provides power, the neon light may have failed. If it provides no power, check your fuses and wiring connections first.

Troubleshooting

No power to the unit

Check the fuse in the plug at the mains source or the internal fuse inside the trailing socket itself.

Loose wiring connection

Disconnect power, open the casing, and ensure the terminal screws are firmly tightened on the copper conductors.

Plug feels hot during operation

Ensure you are not exceeding the 13A total load and verify that the internal terminal connections are clean and tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the power is disconnected from the mains supply. Use only appropriate 3-core electrical cable suitable for your specific amperage requirements. To wire the unit, remove the casing screws, strip your chosen cable, and securely fasten the live, neutral, and earth wires into the labeled terminal blocks. Ensure all connections are tight and the cable clamp is secured to prevent strain on the terminals.

This unit is rated IP20, meaning it is for indoor use only and offers no protection against water or moisture. Regularly inspect the casing for cracks and ensure the cable entry point remains secure. If the unit fails to provide power, first check the internal 13A fuse before inspecting your wiring connections.
