Nartel® 10 X 1 AMP SHAVER FUSES BS646 1AMP MINI FUSE 20MM X 5MM

Product Information

Traditionally, pretty much every bathroom had a shaver socket in it as most shavers at the time needed a mains supply, as battery shavers were few and far between, but today as most now run off of rechargeable battery, shaver sockets are generally few and far between. I am moving from the Netherlands to Ireland and I bought many European to UK travel adaptors to fit my (European plug) appliances which I'm intending to take with me. If you are chasing cables then you can run the supply feed cable down the chase from above and then the shaver supply back up the chase and out to the shaver socket. This will need to be a 47mm deep back box to take the depth of the back of the shaver socket face plate.

Find out how to fit a shaving socket in a bathroom or other room in your home including regulations that state where they are allowed to be fitted to ensure they are safe. If you are installing in a downstairs bathroom on a wall with a socket or light switch on the opposite side then in most cases it’s possible to take a feed from here and simply pass it through the wall.One final point to confirm is that the supply to a shaver socket will always have to be RCD protected. Regarding the non-earthed europlugs, if I look at the photo of converter plug number 4 in your list, I see a 2 pin thin europlug.

Plugwash's final suggestion is the one to go for - just change the plugs on your appliances and have done with it.They don't need funny pin-outs in the rest of Europe, cause they don't have the silly bathroom rules we do. Once all the wires have been connected, the face plate is then screwed on to the pattress box, fixing it in place. I am aware and already realize that I cannot use these adaptors for my washing machine and I also do not intend to take my refrigerator with me but what about the rest?

Due to its depth this will also need to be chased into the wall so that it is flush with the outer surface. Below is another example of the same plug I bought (I bought the same type at ASDA) and it has a plastic grounding with a 1 Amp fuse. A chase is then cut down to the FCU and also down the bathroom wall to where the socket will be installed.Once the chase for the back box has been cut out using either a chasing machine of hammer and bolster, test fit the back box to ensure it fits. Shaver sockets without transformers should not be used in a wet area such as a shower room or bathroom. However depending on the age of the property and how it’s wired, this may not be the case for the lighting circuit, however your Part P registered electrician will know this for sure and be able to advise on what to do if it isn’t.
