FAQs
What does IP44 rating mean?
An IP44 rating means the product is protected against solid objects over 1mm in diameter (like wires or small tools) and protected against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for damp or exposed environments.
Can I use this lead with a 240V power source?
No, this lead is specifically designed for 110V systems. Using it with a 240V source can damage the lead, your equipment, and create a significant safety hazard.
What is the maximum current this lead can handle?
This extension lead is rated for 16A. It should not be used with equipment that draws more than 16 amps to prevent overheating and potential damage.
Is the cable suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the cable is IP44 rated and manufactured to Arctic Grade standards, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions on site, provided connections are protected from direct water ingress.
Where can I buy a replacement plug or coupler?
Replacement BS 60309 16A 110V plugs and couplers can be sourced from electrical wholesalers or specialized industrial equipment suppliers.
How should I store the extension lead?
Store the lead loosely coiled in a dry, protected area. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, especially in cold weather, to preserve the cable's integrity.
Why is the color yellow?
The bright yellow color is a safety feature designed to increase the visibility of the cable on busy work sites, helping to prevent accidental trips and falls.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected equipment
Verify that the 16A plug is fully inserted into a live 110V, 16A socket. Check the power source (transformer/generator) is operational. Inspect the extension lead for visible damage. Ensure the equipment plugged into the coupler is functioning.
Intermittent power supply
Check for loose connections at either the plug or the coupler end. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked in a way that might affect internal conductors. Test with a different piece of equipment to rule out a fault with the tool.
Cable feels stiff or brittle
While designed for cold, extreme temperatures can affect flexibility. Allow the cable to warm up indoors or in a protected environment before use. Inspect for any signs of cracking if used in prolonged sub-zero conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable construction suitable for demanding industrial environments.
- High visibility yellow color enhances site safety.
- Flexible 10m length provides good reach.
- Reliable connection with industrial-grade 16A plug and coupler.
- IP44 rating offers protection against splashes and dust.
Cons
- This product is being replaced by a newer version.
- 110V operation limits its use to compatible power sources.
- 16A rating may not be sufficient for high-power equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the 16A yellow plug into a compatible 110V, 16A socket (typically found on site transformers or distribution boxes). Connect your 110V equipment to the female coupler end. Ensure all connections are secure and dry before powering on.
Compatibility: This lead is designed for 110V systems and features a 16A, 3-pin BS 60309 connector. It is compatible with other 110V, 16A equipment and power sources that use the same connector type.
Care: Store the lead loosely coiled in a dry place when not in use. Inspect the cable, plug, and coupler for any signs of damage (cuts, abrasions, bent pins) before each use. Clean the connectors with a dry cloth if they appear dirty. Avoid dragging the lead over sharp objects or leaving it exposed to excessive moisture or chemicals.
