FAQs

What is an 'unswitched' spur connection unit?

An unswitched spur connection unit provides a permanent electrical connection point. Unlike switched units, it does not have an on/off switch, meaning power is always supplied to the connected appliance when the circuit is live.

Can I use this to connect a portable appliance with a plug?

No, this is an unswitched spur connection unit and does not have a flex outlet. It is designed for hard-wired, permanent connections to appliances that do not have their own plug.

What is the maximum current this unit can handle?

This unit is rated at 13 Amps, which is suitable for most standard household fixed appliances.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

No, this spur connection unit is designed for indoor use only. It does not have an IP rating for protection against water or dust ingress.

Do I need a fuse in this unit?

Typically, spur connections are fused either within the unit itself or protected by a fuse or circuit breaker on the circuit supplying it. Always follow current wiring regulations for appropriate fusing.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

No power to the connected appliance.

Verify the mains power is on. Check that the fuse in the spur unit (if applicable) or the associated circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct.

Unit feels warm to the touch during operation.

Slight warmth can be normal under heavy load. If the unit is excessively hot, immediately switch off the power at the mains and consult a qualified electrician. This may indicate an overload or faulty connection.

Loose connection internally.

This unit should only be accessed by a qualified electrician. If a loose connection is suspected, cease use and have it inspected by a professional.
