Product Information
Full details
The Primaflow 13A 2-Way Adaptor is designed for users needing to power two devices from a single UK mains socket. Its key benefit is providing convenient extra power access in a compact form factor, ideal for home, office, or travel. A caveat to be aware of is its 13A rating, meaning the total load from both connected devices must not exceed this limit. This adaptor transforms one socket into two, featuring a robust plastic construction and an easy-grip design.

FAQs
What is the maximum load this adaptor can handle?
The Primaflow 13A 2-Way Adaptor has a maximum load rating of 13 Amps. The total power drawn by both devices plugged into the adaptor must not exceed this limit.
Can I plug in high-power appliances like a microwave?
It is not recommended to plug in very high-power appliances such as microwaves or electric heaters individually, as they may exceed the 13A limit on their own, potentially overloading the adaptor.
Does this adaptor offer surge protection?
No, this is a basic multiple adaptor and does not provide surge protection. For sensitive electronics, a surge-protected extension lead or adaptor should be used.
Is this adaptor safe for continuous use?
Yes, provided the total load does not exceed the 13A rating and the adaptor is in good condition, it is safe for continuous use with appropriate appliances.
What are the dimensions of the adaptor?
The adaptor measures approximately 50 x 50 x 75 mm.
What is the weight of the adaptor?
The adaptor weighs approximately 60 grams.
Can I use this adaptor for travel outside the UK?
This adaptor is designed for use with UK mains sockets (BS1363). It is not suitable for use in countries with different plug and socket standards.
Troubleshooting
Adaptor not providing power to either device.
Ensure the adaptor is fully plugged into the mains socket and that the mains socket itself is live. Check that the connected devices are functioning by testing them in a different socket. Verify that the total load of both devices does not exceed the 13A limit.
One device works, but the other does not.
Test the non-working device in a different socket to confirm it is functional. Ensure the connection to the adaptor is secure. If the sum of the working device's load and the non-working device's potential load exceeds 13A, this may be the cause.
Adaptor feels warm during use.
Slight warmth can be normal under moderate load. However, if the adaptor becomes excessively hot, immediately unplug it and the connected devices. Check the total power consumption of the connected devices; if it is close to or exceeds 13A, reduce the load or use the devices separately. Inspect the adaptor for any visible damage.
