Hilltop Hippy Posted February 10 Posted February 10 G'day gang, Does anyone know where to source decent quality, 240v, 10amp plugs from? something nicer than the standard $5 jobby from Bunnings?
andyr Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I use these: Or, for thicker mains cable ... the 'heavy duty' version. 1
aussievintage Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Bunnings have similar in black white or gray btw. is it still illegal to fit these yourself - most info I am finding says so. Also 1
pete_mac Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I have used the Clipsal 1439SHD in the past (it appears that Deta have very nearly copied them). About $1 2 each. 1439SHD Quick Connect Plug Straight 3 Pin 10A 250V Transparent 2

Also avoid going for the bottom $5.80. The housing is too bulky, if you need to plug to a GPO that’s up high the weight of the cable is enough to wiggle it out. Because it’s a huge housing it’s easy to knock out physically and literally rips the those fixing screws out and damages the housing rendering it unsafe to use. Get plugs that are transparent so you can see the wiring and compact so the weight of the wire doesn’t make it fall out 1
