2 Pack Black 13 amp UK 3‑pin plug
Product description
This pair of black 3-pin mains plugs brings a straightforward replacement option for domestic and light commercial wiring, compatible with standard 13 amp UK sockets. They are intended for connecting appliances and extension leads where a fused 13 A plug is required, offering a compact, easy-to-fit solution for everyday electrical connections.
Key Points
The plug bodies are made from flame-retardant, fire-resistant material to reduce the risk of melting or combustion under stress. Each plug includes a cord grip to hold the cable securely and brass contacts for low resistance and reliable conductivity. These plugs are lightweight and compact, which makes them convenient for carrying or for use in tight spaces when wiring new leads or replacing damaged plugs. ⚡️

Practical Tips
