Description
Overview:
This Defender Dual Socket 16A–13A Fly Lead is a short adapter cable for splitting a single 240V 16A supply into two standard UK 13A outlets. It allows two corded tools, lights, or appliances with 13A plugs to run from a 16A lead or distribution board without rewiring. The fly lead uses flexible H05-VVF cable with VDE approval and a low-temperature sheath for reliable handling in cooler conditions. A compact 400 mm cable length keeps the splitter close to the source to minimise cable clutter. The conductors are a nominal 1.5 mm² for typical site and workshop loads. Use where a 16A 240V plug-in point needs to safely serve two 13A plug tops, while keeping the overall circuit load within the 16A rating.
Key Features:
- Input: 16A 240V plug for site or workshop power sources.
- Output: 2 x UK 13A sockets for standard BS-style plugs.
- Voltage: 240V single-phase distribution compatibility.
- Cable length: 400 mm for compact, tidy connections.
- Cable type: H05-VVF, VDE approved for quality assurance.
- Conductor size: nominal 1.5 mm² for general-purpose loads.
- Low-temperature PVC sheath for cold-weather flexibility.
- Splits one 16A feed into two 13A outlets safely.
- Total load must not exceed the 16A supply rating.
- Reduces need to change plugs or rewire equipment.
Typical Applications:
Used to power two 13A plug devices from a single 16A 240V outlet on site transformers, distribution boards, or generators. Common in construction, facilities maintenance, events, hire fleets, workshops, and temporary power setups. Suitable for corded tools, task lighting, chargers, and portable appliances where short, secure connection leads are preferred to manage cable runs and reduce trip hazards.
