That's what we'd call a trailing socket. To be used with an extension
lead. I thought you meant permanently installed sockets. But perhaps you

Perhaps you just like to start fights. We wanted to use Wiremold
Plugmold type steel power strips made for relay racks, but the ESA
wanted individual outlets mounted on metal boxes inside the racks which
wasted a lot of space so we used what they shipped us.


It look like it would also accept other than the UK 13 amp plug - which is

I never said it did. That's why I thought that it was funny to see
