FAQs
Does this socket come with a lead attached?
No, this is a component-only product. You must provide and attach your own electrical lead.
Is this socket weather-resistant?
While the rubber casing is durable, it is not rated for total water submersion or direct exposure to heavy rain. Use in dry, sheltered areas is recommended.
Can I use this for high-wattage kitchen appliances?
It is rated for 13A, which covers most standard appliances, but you should always verify the total wattage of your device does not exceed 3120W.
Is it difficult to wire?
It is straightforward for those with basic electrical knowledge, but we recommend consulting a qualified professional if you are unsure about wiring standards.
What is the purpose of the rubber covering?
The rubber covering provides impact resistance and protects the internal terminal assembly from debris and minor mechanical stress.
Troubleshooting
Device does not receive power after assembly
Verify that all wire connections to the terminals are tight and that the cable has not been stripped or damaged during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Dencon 13A Extension Socket, you must first ensure you have the appropriate flexible 3-core cable rated for 13A service. Open the rubber casing to access the terminals, ensuring that your earth, live, and neutral wires are securely fastened to the correct pins. Always perform a continuity check with a multimeter before plugging the device into a wall outlet to verify the integrity of your wiring. Regarding care, the rubber casing should be kept clear of heavy chemical spills. If the casing becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth; avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the rubber material.
