Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 008320 is a single gang UK mains extension lead designed for indoor use, offering a reliable 5-meter reach to connect a single Type G (BS 1363) device. It is ideal for users needing to extend the reach of a power outlet for a single appliance. A key benefit is its robust construction with a tamper-proof, re-wireable 13A plug. The main caveat is its single outlet, limiting its use to one device at a time.

How many devices can I plug into this extension lead?

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer information for specific warranty details, as warranty information is not provided in the product specifications.

Is this extension lead safe to use with high-power appliances like heaters?

Yes, it is safe to use with appliances rated up to 13 Amps, which includes most standard heaters. However, ensure no other devices are drawing power from the same circuit that would exceed the household breaker's limit.

Troubleshooting

Connected device does not power on

Ensure the extension lead's plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Verify that the wall socket is functioning by testing it with another appliance. Check that the connected device's plug is securely inserted into the extension lead's socket.

Extension lead feels warm during use

If the lead feels only slightly warm, it may be normal under heavy load. However, if it becomes excessively hot, immediately unplug it. Ensure the total power draw of the connected device does not exceed the 13A rating.

Plug or socket appears damaged

Do not use the extension lead if any part of the plug or socket shows signs of cracking, melting, or other damage. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified electrician for assistance.
