14MTR 16A 110V 2.5MM EXTENSION LEAD - YELLOW

Faithfull Trailing Leads with an industrial plug and socket. Conforms to BSEN60309 providing ingress protection to IP44 and added durability and protection from being dropped or dragged around. Trailing leads are ideal for use with transformers, site lights, and power tools to extend their working range.

Available in 1.5mm or 2.5mm cable and 16 or 32 amp versions.

• 110v 16a socket.
• 110v 16a plug.
• 2.5mm cable.

🔌 What it can safely power:

You’re looking at tools and equipment that draw up to 16A at 110V, which is roughly 1.75kW continuous load. Suitable examples include:

• Corded drills and SDS+ hammers (non-industrial)
• Small to medium angle grinders (typically up to 125mm)
• Site lighting (LED towers, festoon lights)
• Vacuum extractors (compact models)
• Small cement mixers or tile cutters
• Battery chargers for cordless tools

⚠️ What to watch out for:

The risk comes when someone plugs in:

• Large demolition breakers or industrial grinders (often 2kW+)
• Site heaters or dehumidifiers (especially fan-assisted types)
• Multiple tools via a splitter — even if each is under 16A, the combined load can exceed the cable’s rating
• Transformers feeding 230V tools — these can spike on startup and draw more than expected
