Fused spur

[mjtefc9]

Quick one..

At the minute Ive gone from the fused spur through the wall and behind the telly then used a blue plug to connect the telly and power. But the new telly has a moulded plug and isn't on a kettle lead so I can just swap the blue socket for a one gang extention socket to plug the telly in?

yes.

does the tv have a 2 pin plug ?

Hi Andy,
This is the plug and the current set up.. could I cut the plug off and just wire the blue plug like the old one?

 

[AndyPRK]

yes, as long as there is a fuse inline.

or you could buy one of these if you wished.

What do you mean by a "blue plug"?

 

[EFLImpudence]

Yes, I thought that.

If you look at the third picture, 'CT101-' can be seen.

Google search brings up a Click connector and they are - well - blue.

I suspect the colour is probably a red herring.

There is a fused spur in line, and also the TV will be internally fused. Nothing more is needed. The same TV used in other countries will plug into a 16 amp circuit.

I've just come from the spur through the wall and wired a 1G socket https://www.screwfix.com/p/masterpl...LmmZLlv8FsU-9UrTb98aAsWKEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

And everything is now working perfect.. thanks for all the help

Off topic a bit - I wonder if those blue plugs would be suitable for extractor fans? So when you need to take one down for cleaning or replacement there is no need to stand on a stepladder wielding a tiny screwdriver for the connections?

There is a four pin version (though more usually used for emergency lighting).
