2 Way Mains Plug Adaptor – UK 3 Pin BS EN 1363-3 Compliant White Wall Socket Adaptor Dual Output for Home Office Use

2 Way Mains Plug Adaptor – UK 3 Pin Dual Socket

One Socket, Two Plugs
Most rooms do not have enough wall sockets. It is one of those things that becomes obvious the moment you move furniture around or add a new appliance and find there is nowhere to plug it in without unplugging something else. A two-way adaptor fixes that without any wiring, without calling an electrician and without moving anything. Push it into the existing socket and you have two outlets where there was one.
This adaptor conforms to BS EN 1363-3, which is the British Standard for socket outlet adaptors used in UK mains installations. Both output sockets are standard UK three-pin layout and accept any standard UK plug without any modification or force.

Design and Build

Two full UK three-pin output sockets on the front face — both accept standard 13 amp plugs and are independently usable at the same time
Compact square body that sits flush against the wall when plugged in — does not stick out significantly from the socket or put sideways strain on the wall outlet
White finish matches standard UK sockets and blends in against white skirting boards and wall plates without standing out
Shuttered socket openings on both output sockets — the internal shutters only open when all three pins of a UK plug are inserted simultaneously, preventing accidental contact with live terminals from a single object being pushed into one opening
Conforms to BS EN 1363-3 — the applicable British Standard for plug-in socket adaptors covering construction, contact ratings and safety requirements
Plug-in design requires no tools and no installation — push into any standard UK 13 amp wall socket and both outputs are immediately live

In Use

Push the adaptor pins directly into a standard UK wall socket — the fit should be firm and the adaptor should sit flat against the socket face without rocking or leaving a gap
Both output sockets are live once the adaptor is connected — no switch, no indicator light, no additional step needed
Use for two standard UK plugs simultaneously — both sockets carry the same mains supply as the wall socket the adaptor is connected to
The combined load of both appliances plugged in must not exceed the rating of the wall socket and circuit — do not use this adaptor to run two high-draw appliances such as a kettle and a toaster from the same outlet at the same time
For temporary use in situations where an additional socket is needed — this adaptor is a practical short-term solution and not a substitute for having additional sockets installed by an electrician where permanent extra outlets are needed

Where This Gets Used

Behind televisions and entertainment units where a single socket is not enough for the TV, set-top box and soundbar all at once
On desks and workspaces where a lamp, phone charger and laptop all need a socket at the same time
In bedrooms where a single socket near the bed needs to serve both a lamp and a phone or device charger
Kitchens and utility rooms where appliance sockets are limited and a second outlet is needed for a temporary appliance
Offices and home working setups where a monitor, desktop and desk lamp all require mains power from the same area of the room

Safety Notes

Conforms to BS EN 1363-3 — meets UK safety standards for plug-in socket adaptors
Do not exceed the rated load of the socket and circuit this adaptor is connected to — the adaptor does not add capacity, it shares the existing socket rating between two outlets
Do not use with high-current appliances such as electric heaters, washing machines, tumble dryers, kettles or ovens — these should each have their own dedicated socket
Do not daisy-chain adaptors — plugging one adaptor into another multiplies the risk of overloading the circuit and is a fire hazard
Keep the adaptor and both connected plugs clear of water, heat sources and soft furnishings during use
