Opal WT-16U Angled Rewirable Plug 2P+E Black

The Opal WT-16U is a high-quality angled rewirable plug designed for 2P+E electrical connections. This durable component is engineered to provide a secure and reliable power link for various household and professional appliances. Its robust construction ensures longevity, while the rewirable design allows for straightforward cable replacement and maintenance, making it an essential tool for repairing damaged power cords or assembling custom extension leads.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Opal WT-16U is its practical angled design, which is specifically optimized for use in confined spaces where a straight plug would be impractical or prone to bending. By directing the cable parallel to the wall or socket surface, it minimizes strain on the cord and prevents accidental disconnections. Furthermore, the rewirable nature of the plug offers significant cost savings and convenience, as it allows users to restore functionality to appliances without needing to replace the entire power cable assembly.

Suitable for

• Repairing damaged power cords on household appliances
• Creating custom-length extension leads
• Connecting devices in tight spaces behind furniture
• Professional electrical maintenance and equipment repair

This plug is not suitable for high-amperage industrial machinery that exceeds its rated electrical capacity. It should also not be used in environments where moisture or water ingress is a risk, as it is designed for standard indoor conditions.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 2P+E (Two-pole plus earth)
• Design: Angled
• Type: Rewirable
• Color: Black

To use the Opal WT-16U, first ensure the power supply is completely disconnected. Carefully strip the outer insulation of your cable and prepare the individual wires. Open the plug housing, insert the wires into the appropriate terminals, and secure them firmly with the provided screws. Ensure the earth wire is connected to the designated terminal. Once the connections are tight and the cable clamp is secured to prevent tension on the terminals, reassemble the housing and tighten the outer casing screw.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable diameter is compatible with the plug's cable clamp
• Ensure the electrical load of your appliance matches the plug's rating
• Check that the 2P+E configuration is compatible with your existing wall socket

For optimal safety and performance, always ensure that all wire connections are clean and firmly tightened. Avoid over-tightening the housing screws to prevent damage to the plastic casing. If you are unsure about the electrical installation, consult a qualified professional.
