Slimline plugs

riveralt · 27 Nov 2009

Anybody out there no where I can buy a slimline 230v 13amp plug.
I remember using one of these years ago, the rear of the plug slid on and off saving about 5 mils in depth.

Without one of these, I will have to replace the current socket for a slimline model or cut a hole in the side of a cabinet.

Don't really want to do that.

I vaguely remember the plugs you are on about but if it is any help I have a legrand plug that is only 19mm thick ex pins that I can send you if it is any use.

Edit. Just found one of those slide off top plugs and they are 25mm thick(same as an MK toughplug!) and were made by a company called TL. If i have the same as you are thinking of insde the plug is a large red cover over the pins and the connections are screwless and feature over centre levers

Thanks for the offer, but I think I will fit a slimline socket instead. I read the manufacturers instructions and I will void my warranty if I cut the plug.

At my parents house I was getting annoyed that the extention lead plugged in at the head of my bed was pushing the bed away from the wall, my soloution was to replace both plug and socket with a unswitched FCU.

Old ones I have all have MANWEB logo on them. However all pre-insulated pins. And I think it would be impossible to make with insulated pins.
