Range of heavy duty weatherproof adaptors to enable appliances with a UK 13A plug to be connected to a variety of generator sockets.
Whilst most generator leads are manufactured from cheap, easy to damage artic blue cable, our leads are in a different league. Carefully constructed in our UK workshop from H07RN-F thick 1.5mmsq rubber cable, which is specifically manufactured for harsh environments; its safety and performance under extreme conditions simply cannot be beaten.
Typical Application
The picture below illustrates a typical application; an electric drill with a UK 13A plug is connected to a 230v 16A CEE 60309 (commando) socket on a generator.

Adaptor Options
Adaptors are available in a range of options to connect to the majority of sockets fitted to generators across the UK and Europe. It can sometimes be difficult to identify the different types of sockets - a useful tip is to use the colour with the diameter stated under each picture.

43mm diameter |
230v 16A Blue Sockets (IEC 60309) |
|
57mm diameter |
230v 32A Blue Sockets (IEC 60309) |
|
56mm diameter |
415v 16A Red Sockets (IEC 60309) The adaptor is only compatible with 5 pin sockets (L1, L2, L3, N And E). |

63mm diameter |
415v 32A Red Sockets (IEC 60309) The adaptor is only compatible with 5 pin sockets (L1, L2, L3, N And E). |

Normally black or blue mm diameter |
Schuko 230v 16A socket The schuko socket is easily confused with the 230v 16A CEE socket. However it is actually easy to tell apart, as it only has 2 receptacles (holes). Commonly found on generators imported from Europe. |
Note that the maximum load that can be connected to the double socket is 16A for adaptors with a CEE 16A or Schuko plug and 26A for those with a 32A plug
Specification:
- Weatherproof IP66 rated high quality Hamilton branded socket. An IP66 rating means that the socket is protected against powerful water jets.
- To guard against unauthorised access, the socket can be locked shut with a small padlock (max 5.5mm diameter) available here.
- Industrial plug CEE (Menneke, Gewiss or PCE) or Schuko plug.
- 0.7m of industrial specification H07RN-F rubber cable (2.5mmsq for 16A, 4mmsq for 32A), specifically manufactured for harsh environments with high mechanical, chemical, water and UV resistance. Flexibility and performance is retained over a wide temperature range (-25 to 55°C). Find out what’s so special about our cables.
- PAT tested.
