Outdoor Extension Lead 10M Waterproof IP66 Garden 2 Way Socket Long Extension Cord Weatherproof Double Switched Outside Use

Product Information

The vast majority of these cables are for strictly temporary use, even those that come with a sturdy enclosure and can be fitted to an outdoor wall. You certainly don’t want to set one up as a permanent power supply to a garage or summer house. The RCD are active units, which means that the reset button must be pressed each time the power is disconnected. N.B. this lead is not compatible with the Citroen Ami, which is supplied with a European CCEE 7/7 2 pin plug. Please see this lead. This lead is designed to connect appliances with a standard 13A UK plug. It is not compatible with plug RCDs (an RCD plug is much larger than a standard 13A plug and will have test/reset buttons), EV granny charger plugs or 16A European plugs.

A: You should never leave an extension lead outside, even if it is an outdoor extension lead. This is very dangerous and could cause fatal accidents. Pressure washers and vacuum cleaners are a perfect way of cleaning your car, but unless you're prepared to risk a cordless, battery-operated example for your cleaning duties you'll be bound to the operating radius offered by the manufacturer. There's little point risking it with a normal extension lead (especially in the case of the pressure washer), because of how temperamental British weather can be. What you need for your pressure washer and vacuum cleaner is a proper, IP certified waterproof extension lead. What is IP? Available in 2m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m (RCD only) and 25m (RCD only) lengths - select the required length from the drop down list above. A: If you are worried about the safety of your extension cord, you should only use an extension cord outside if it is weatherproof. Every other method of protection is unreliable.Given varying advice from manufacturers and varying risks in a whole myriad of charging scenarios, we cannot make a blanket recommendation that an extension lead should be used. Tough Leads simply supply high quality extension leads which are compatible with the 13A plug fitted to EV chargers. Compatibility with the charger itself is not inferred or implied. It is down to the user to determine the appropriateness of the application; if in any doubt, consult an electrician. Tough Leads therefore cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused as a result of using an extension lead.

It is the responsibility of the EV user to consider the manufacturers guidance, the safety of the supply and any other risks, before deciding whether to use an extension lead with an EV charger. A: No, you should never plug an extension lead into another extension lead. This is very dangerous.This lead is designed to connect appliances with a standard 13A UK plug. It is not compatible with plug RCDs (an RCD plug is much larger than a standard 13A plug, and will have test/reset buttons) or 16A European plugs.
