Currently I have one high level 13A plug socket to which I need to connect a wall mounted TV and some speakers. As it is a slimline TV a plug placed in the socket takes up just a bit too much room. Could I replace the plug socket with an FCU and runs both appliances from this?

Cheers,

Brian

If both the speakers and TV have the same size fuse in the plug you might be able to.

But what a pain in the arse to have to wire an appliance in at that height.

You should use a switched FCU if you do.

Try looking for a slimline plug.

Thanks for that.

If I got I plug would I be able to wire both appliances into the one plug (as there is only one socket) as there is not enough roomf or a conventional socket adapter.

You can connect 2 flexes to one plug, but only if both flexes are the same shape and size.

If they are different sizes, or one is flat and one round, it won't be possible to secure them in the flex grip properly.
