Review: Exactly what was needed - There are so many negative reviews of this that I was a little wary. But I needn't have worried. I can only imagine that the product has changed since those reviews were written. I opened it up to check what's inside. For the record, the surge protection is genuine (varistor, thermal fuse, and LED), and the line and neutral conductors are solid brass (the earth conductors are cheaper steel, but in normal operation they should not be carrying any current). The shutters on line and neutral operate properly. The switches are quite small, but they feel solid and they operate positively. Given the negative reviews, and knowing there are such things as fake fuses, I checked the supplied fuse by destroying it. It's a hollow ceramic tube with a fuse wire between the end caps, and is filled with sand. It's genuine. I would have preferred the body to have been made from a more solid type of plastic, but the polycarbonate is good enough. It was very easy to fit. The terminal screws are accessed from the top, and are captive (so you can't screw them right out and lose them). The terminal openings seemed plenty large enough for two wires, but an application with three wires per terminal might challenge them. Screwing it down to the back box was also easy. You do need to make sure you have a narrow screwdriver to hand, as the screws are deeply recessed into narrow openings. It was also easy to line up the screws with the screw holes in the back box, by looking down from above. Screws were supplied (but the old ones would have done the job anyway). All in all, I'm very pleased with this adaptor. It's decent quality and appears to do its job perfectly.
Review: Nice looking, easy to fit, AND surge protected! - This unit has four individually switched sockets, can be fitted to an existing flush single or double gang installation, and is ridiculously easy to fit. Took me maybe five minutes start to finish. Turn off the power, unscrew the existing 2 gang faceplate, terminate the individual cables in the clearly marked locations, and screw the unit back into place. Turn the power back on, test, and once confirmed working fit the supplied screw hole covers just to make it look pretty and keep muck out - you just push them into place in the shaped holes designed to make sure that you cannot fit them incorrectly. Where previously I could only use two appliances I can now safely use four, and all that for less than £15 delivered. Obviously if you are unsure about electrics put safety first and consult an electrician, but if you are competent it is entirely legal to do it yourself without Part P certification because everything occurs this side of the plaster. A nice unit, a nice price, easy to fit, and working like a charm in only a few minutes. I heartily recommend this unit, and although I have no need for other units in the kitchen I am looking around for other places in my home that would benefit. If I find any, and I strongly suspect that the bedroom may be a candiate as will the newly plastered living room, I will definitely buy more of these units to fit into them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would these be suitable to use with my hdtv, PS4 and sound bar plugged into it?**
A: I think so separate plugs come of a ring main so really as long as all four plugs add up to 13amp or below

**Q: Does this come with a back box?**
A: No. It’s designed to fit over an existing recessed box using the same faceplate screws but longer ones are easier to fit. Works best with a 32 mm deep box either single or double.

**Q: Does it come with screws?**
A: No. There are 50mm / 2" Chrome Switch / Plug Socket Screw Longer x10 available on Amazon and cost £1 - £1.50 for 10. These screw on to the back plate which is visible when you remove the faceplate of the existing power point.

**Q: can i plug an extension lead into this**
A: All this is doing is making a 1 or 2 socket into a 4 socket. An extension can be used but as with most things still need to be aware power you are drawing so as not to overload the circuit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Idea But IMHO Not Suited To EVERY Location
*by M***N on 21 August 2018*

I’ve fitted 2 of these 4-gang socket adapters now, so I thought I’d chuck in my ‘two penn'th’ for what it’s worth. Let me start by saying that one job went smoothly and the other….well, let’s just say none too smoothly. If these circumstances strike a chord with you, then maybe I’ve helped in some small way. Firstly the smooth job. In one corner of my lounge was a double socket with a need for an adapter to give me the three sockets I needed for lighting timer, charger for my Hive thermostat, and IP security camera, so this was an ideal place to fit a 4-gang socket as a neater solution – our house is 13 years old and wired to more modern standards with the sockets about two feet up the wall to give wheelchair users access, therefore anything other than a straightforward mains plug is a bulky eye-sore. On unwrapping the product you notice something that is immediately not what you were expecting from something that is supposed to be a direct replacement – the screws for the three cable terminals face downwards so maybe it’s not such a bad idea after all to have those sockets two feet up the wall as you may be glad of the chance to look up at them from below! This socket was ring-main wired and I’d estimate that this is all the new screw terminals are good for. Anyone with a socket which ALSO supplies a spur elsewhere may well be out of luck trying to get three wires into each terminal. I had two attempts at turning the socket back up the right way only to find that the pairs of wires hadn’t survived the journey without failing the ‘trying to yank them out with pliers’ test! Of course, if you want to be looking down on the terminals whilst you tighten the screws you will need enough slack cable to allow for a 180 degree rotation when putting the socket in its final position. Easier in a house with cavity walls faced with plasterboard, as these cable may be quite loose within the wall, but a bit of a b****r if the wall box is plastered into place as the cable might not have any slack beyond that needed to fix the original socket. The terminals are offset to one side to allow for fitting to a single wall box, so if fitting to a double wall box, as I was, then you will need sufficient slack to move the cable off-centre. Oh yes, NO WAY should one of these be fitted to a surface-mounted patress box – in the wall, not ON the wall! Screwing the adapter into place is just a little trickier than normal because the screws recess all the way to the back wall of the socket so they’re already down a one inch hole before you start. If you can see what you’re screwing them into, all well and good, and being able to look down onto the socket from above is a boon here in aiming the screws in the right direction. It just takes a bit more trial and error than normal as you'd normally be able to locate the threaded hole in the wall box by feel with the bit of screw that was protruding on the front of the socket. In the end I discarded the screws they gave me in favour of some longer ones. That way you can get the screw poised over the threaded bracket inside the wall box before you start turning the screwdriver. You get three neat little flushed plugs to hide the screws after you’ve finished. In case your wiring doesn’t include it they throw in a length of green sleeving to identify the earth wires in future. Now for the tricky one. I also fitted one of these above a kitchen work-surface below the associated wall cupboards, thus it had about 6” below it and not much more clearance above it. This was not such a good idea and took ages and much blue air was generated. The first problem you encounter with limited clearances like this is that you can’t look up at the screws when fixing wires – you either have to do it by feel or turn the socket upside down so you can see the little blighters. This presupposes that the cable is slack enough to let you do this. I got lucky; mine could be pulled out about 3” extra inches and it was only a single spur cable, so only three wires to attach. My major problem came when trying to screw down the socket. I had next to no headroom to look down over the top of the socket to help with placement of the screws and get those first few vital turns of thread going. I could just about see one of them and got the thread to ‘bite’ but being longer than a normal 2-gang socket you then can’t get raise the other end far enough away from the wall to see the second screw hole in the wall box and have to resort to doing it by feel. Working at arm’s length across a work-surface made this extremely tedious and back-aching. In the end I used a stiff wire to locate the relevant hole, held the socket in that position with BluTac and tape and it worked. Thank goodness you only need to do it once (I hope)! A cheery green LED glows though the case – makes a change from red anyway. This is the indicator that ‘surge protection’ is turned on. I’ve yet to see if this turns red when forced to work in anger. Pleased with them? Yes. Now they’re fitted. I was saying a few unrepeatable things about them during fitting.
