UK shaver plug Rewireable

[AndyPRK]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a rewireable one?

Must be the UK type with thick pins.

I see plenty of euro ones for sale


Thanks

I cut my 2 pin plugs off and put on a standard 3 pin plug.
I guess you want to plug in at the bathroom only though.
Sorry I don't know.

BS 4573 shaver plug with its parallel 5.1 mm pins that are 16.66 mm apart. I looked with Google, but impossible to work out which is which.

Unlikely they exist, as the market for such things is basically zero.

Such plugs are a relic from decades ago, only used for UK market shaver/toothbrush chargers due to the FUD of not having proper socket outlets in a bathroom, and the vast majority of shaver sockets will accept the 2 pin Euro plug anyway.

Would this do? Not cheap or pretty though

Thanks.

Yeah I had already found a Schuko 16A, that is a bit shorter and ~£5, so I think I will end up going for that.
I have test fitted one in the past, and it seemed suitable

Why exactly did you want it?

Is it going into a shaver outlet? They should accept various plugs.

 

[morqthana]

But will they let them leave?

 

[AndyPRK]

It would be nice if this would fit. (sort of thing I am looking for).

But having been round this before, I don't think they are designed to fit.

Pardon our interruption...

Had to laugh at this item I found!

Somewhere! in the house I have a similar two pin plug as the first link. If I remember correctly it came with an adapter that had a 13asocket and two 2a two pin sockets.

That is not Andy, the OP.

I was reiterating the Q you asked him.

In a bedroom I have a 1960's shaver light. The advantage of this is that there is no isolation Transformer and the socket is always on. Euro plugs fall out of it.

I intend to plug something into this, and run it to a 2 pin euro extension socket (already have one somewhere), and then hardwire into the back a toothbrush charger base.

Into the extension socket, I can plug my shaver charger, when required (the majority of those I have use euro connectors and fit perfectly)

Toothbrushes need a long charge, and certainly my old/basic ones I have won't last more than a few days without being charged. (the later one I have does last, but I have 3 of the older type!)
