Product Information

Full details

The Kenable 4 Way Extension Lead is designed for caravan owners, campers, and boat enthusiasts who require a reliable way to connect standard domestic appliances to a 16A site power source. It offers the key benefit of expanding a single hook-up point into four separate UK 3-pin sockets, making it perfect for powering lights, chargers, and small kitchen devices simultaneously. One caveat to keep in mind is that while the cable is IP44 rated for outdoor use, the 4-gang socket block should be kept in a dry or sheltered area to prevent water ingress.

FAQs

Can I use this in the rain?

The lead is IP44 rated, which means it is splash-proof. However, it should not be submerged in water or left in standing water.

Does this lead convert 16A to 13A?

The lead allows you to use 13A devices on a 16A supply; it does not change the voltage, it simply changes the connection type.

What is the maximum amperage I can draw?

The total load across all four sockets should not exceed the rating of the supply bollard or the cable itself, typically limited to 16A.

Is this suitable for use on boats?

Yes, this lead is commonly used on boats and marinas where 16A hook-ups are standard.

Why is the cable blue?

The blue color is the industrial standard for 230V electrical equipment, and the high-visibility shade is used to prevent tripping hazards on campsites.

Can I use this with a household wall outlet?

No, this is designed for 16A industrial-style site hook-ups. You would need a separate 'site-to-domestic' adapter to plug the blue end into a standard home wall socket.

Troubleshooting

Power is not reaching the appliances

Check the connection at the site bollard and ensure the site's MCB or RCD has not tripped.

Socket feels stiff to insert plugs

Ensure the pins are aligned correctly and the socket shutters are not obstructed by debris.

Cable is difficult to coil after cold weather

Bring the cable inside to reach room temperature; the outer sheath will become more pliable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Converts 16A industrial power to four standard UK 13A outlets
  • High-visibility blue cable improves safety on campsites
  • Generous 20M length provides ample reach from the power bollard
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor use
  • Flexible cable allows for easy storage and routing

Cons

  • Socket block is not fully waterproof and requires dry placement
  • 20M length can be heavy to transport and coil
  • Total load must not exceed the site or extension limits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: insert the 16A blue plug into the female socket on your campsite's electrical pedestal until it clicks into place. Ensure the cable is fully uncoiled during use to prevent overheating, especially when under heavy load.

Care Instructions:

  • Inspection: Regularly check the cable for nicks, cuts, or exposed wires before each trip.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the cable down with a damp cloth if it becomes muddy or dusty.
  • Storage: When not in use, store in a cool, dry place and coil the cable loosely to avoid kinking the internal conductors.
  • Safety: Do not daisy-chain multiple extension leads, as this can increase electrical resistance and fire risk.
