## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this easy to fit for someone with limited knowledge?**
A: Just common sense.  Make sure electricity is OFF, unscrew existing socket and check there is enough spare cable to get at the back of the socket. Also check that the fixing holes are the same.  Check you can tell which cable is 'live', 'neutral' & 'earth' i.e. brown, blue and yellow/green and  that there is enough spare cable to fit to the new socket.  Disconnect existing and wire up new to correct terminals, push cables back into wall and screw new socket in place, switch on power and boil up the kettle.

Chris,

**Q: Is the total load 13a or is 13a per socket like a proper double socket?**
A: 13a  per socket can be used just like normal double socket

**Q: by how much does the socket overhand a single patress box on each side? I assume its symetrical.**
A: Yes it is symmetrical.  The unit is very effective and well made, however I would recommend buying some extra long socket screws just incase your patress box is very deeply set or has become loose.

**Q: Anyone having problems woth power line adapter with these?**
A: if house wired with 2.5mill cable connecting should be ok. if house wired with 7.029 ie a7 strand cable, two cables forming the ring main may not fit into the terminals.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy fit converter
*by D***D on 13 February 2025*

This was very easy to install, and fitted nicely into the back box of the existing single socket. Contrary to some users' feedback, I found the screws plenty long enough to secure the new unit to the existing box - they were actually longer than the ones already fitted. I am very happy with the price and the performance of this converter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug doubler 1 into 2 great product.
*by R***R on 12 October 2020*

Having seen the price and read some of the terrible reviews I thought I'd screwed up here and thought "got what id paid for" but I'm not going to say that at all . This product is brilliant. Well made. Seems to conform to BS regs and is just what I needed. Yes the cable holes are tight especially with a ring main circuit but nothing a bit of tidying and snipping didn't cure. All in all a great product and a great price. Took minutes to install and is working well. Thoroughly recommend it to all.Not sure I believe some of the reviews on here now after actually seeing it and fitting it myself. I think some reviews may be from very inept people with little or no skill or practicality at all.Just use your brain take your time and this product will do you proud.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great piece of kit, but buy 50mm screws
*by R***E on 13 June 2015*

This is a superb piece of kit, and allows a basically competent DIYer to convert a single socket quickly and easily into a double. I used two to replace old single sockets prior to a planned rewire, as they can be fitted in five minutes and no need to dig out the wall for a double back box.Quality is superb, and the wires are held captive well. Be aware older wires are often short so it might be a bit fiddly, but once in, it stays put. You may have to untwist your earth wires as it has two earth terminals rather than the usual one.It protrudes more than a normal socket but only half as far as a surface mounted socket would, and looks really good on the wall.The left hand plug is stiff, the right goes in easily. No idea why that might be. Still easier than the 1970s socket I replaced.As other reviewers have pointed out the worst flaw is that the supplied screws are too short. If you have normal thickness walls you will need to replace them with 50mm screws at least. These are inexpensive and I had some to hand but make sure you have them before pulling sockets off your wall.The other flaw preventing me from giving give stars is the caps that cover the fixing screws don't stay on well. I had to use a blob of blue tack to keep them in. Don't glue them or you'll never get it off the wallAll in all though, superb. Neat and cheaper than a new double socket and back box.
