Description

The Mercury is a 5m single-socket extension lead rated at 13A and finished in white. The lead provides one UK 13A socket on a 5-metre cable run from a standard UK 13A plug, allowing appliances to be powered from wall sockets that are out of reach or inconveniently positioned.

Designed for domestic, workshop and light commercial use, the extension lead suits desk lamps, radios, power tools, vacuum cleaners and other portable appliances drawing up to 13A (approximately 3,000W on 230V mains). The 5m cable length covers typical room dimensions without requiring multiple shorter extensions to be daisy-chained, which reduces fire risk and maintains better voltage delivery to the appliance.

The lead is rewireable, meaning the plug and socket housings can be opened with a screwdriver to replace damaged cable or repair internal connections without discarding the entire unit. The construction conforms to BS1363/A, the British Standard for 13A plugs, socket-outlets and adaptors, ensuring compatibility with UK wiring regulations and building insurance requirements.

Frequently Asked

Can this extension lead be used outdoors?

No. The Mercury is not rated for outdoor use and carries no IP rating for water or dust ingress protection. Use it only in dry indoor environments away from moisture.

What does rewireable mean?

The plug and socket housings can be opened with a screwdriver, allowing you to replace damaged cable or repair internal connections if a wire comes loose. This extends the usable life of the lead compared to moulded-on plugs that cannot be serviced.

Can I plug a 4-gang extension into this to get more sockets?

Daisy-chaining extensions (plugging one extension into another) is not recommended. It increases fire risk, reduces voltage delivery to appliances, and may void building insurance. Use a multi-gang extension directly from the wall socket instead.

What's the maximum load this can handle?

The 13A rating allows a maximum continuous load of approximately 3,000W on 230V mains. For safety, avoid running the lead at maximum capacity for extended periods, and do not exceed the rating.
