Product Information

Full details

The Dencon 2 Way 13A Fused Adaptor is designed for homeowners and office users who need to maximize their wall socket capacity without sacrificing safety. Its primary benefit is the dual-outlet configuration which allows you to power two devices from a single mains point, though users should note that the physical footprint may block adjacent switches if they are positioned too closely together.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this with high-power appliances like kettles or heaters?

While the adaptor is rated for 13A, it is not recommended to use multiple high-wattage heating appliances simultaneously as this may exceed the cumulative load capacity.

Is this adaptor surge protected?

No, this model is a fused adaptor focused on current protection and does not feature specific electronics-grade surge suppression.

Can I use this outdoors?

No, this product is designed for indoor use only and must be kept away from moisture and damp conditions.

Does it matter which socket I plug my devices into?

No, both the top and front sockets offer the same electrical performance and safety levels.

What standard does this follow?

The Dencon 2 Way Adaptor complies with BSI 1363/3 standards.

Will this block my second wall socket?

Depending on the spacing of your wall plate, the design may overlap onto the second socket, especially if the switches are positioned very close together.

Troubleshooting

Connected device will not power on

Check if the appliance is turned on, then test the appliance in another wall socket to verify if the fuse in the adaptor or the device plug needs replacing.

Adaptor feels warm to the touch

Ensure you are not exceeding the 13A total current limit. Unplug one device and monitor the temperature; if it remains hot, discontinue use immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
