        NLS | 1.7m Flat Head Flex and Plug 10A 2C+E 1.0mm | Grey

        The NLS 40079 is a 1.7 metre flex and plug lead rated at 10 A, built in a 2C+E configuration with 1.0mm conductors. The 40079 carries a flat head plug top with three pins, and the flex is supplied in grey.

        A conventional plug top stands square off the wall, which is the wrong shape when the outlet sits behind fixed cabinetry or a bench. Clearance at the socket is what decides whether the unit in front of it can sit back properly. The 40079 uses a flat head plug top, so the plug body runs closer to the wall face. From that plug the flex runs 1.7 metres, in a 2C+E configuration that carries an earth.

        Features

        • 10 A rating — the 40079 is rated at 10 A for the connected load.
        • 1.7 metre length — the flex runs 1.7 metres from the plug top.
        • Flat head plug top — the plug body sits low against the wall face rather than standing square off it.
        • 2C+E configuration — the lead carries two cores plus an earth conductor.
        • 1.0mm conductors — conductor size on the 40079 is 1.0mm.
        • Three pin plug — the plug top on the 40079 carries three pins.
        • Grey flex — the lead is supplied in grey.
        • 170 gram packed weight — the 40079 has a packed weight of 0.170 kg.

        Where to use

        • Tight clearance positions — outlets behind fixed cabinetry or benching, where the flat head plug top stands less proud of the wall.
        • Short lead runs — connections where the 1.7 metre flex on the 40079 reaches the outlet.
        • Earthed equipment — equipment calling for an earth conductor, which the 2C+E configuration provides.
        • Loads within 10 A — appliances and equipment drawing up to the 10 A rating of the 40079.

        The 40079 is rated at 10 A and should not be used on loads drawing more than that rating. Conductor size is 1.0mm, which sets what the lead can carry. Check the appliance rating against the lead first, and confirm the selection with a licensed installer before purchase.

        (40079)

        The NLS 40079 is rated at 10 A. The lead should not be used on equipment drawing more than that rating. Conductor size is 1.0mm and the configuration is 2C+E, so an earth conductor runs the full length alongside the two cores.

        The flex on the NLS 40079 runs 1.7 metres from the plug top. Packed weight is 0.170 kg. A longer or shorter run means a different lead, since the length is fixed at manufacture rather than adjustable on site.

        2C+E means two cores plus an earth. The two cores carry active and neutral, and the third conductor is the earth. The plug top on this lead carries three pins, one for each of those conductors.

        A flat head plug top is shaped so the plug body sits low against the wall face instead of standing square off it. That reduces how far the plug projects from the outlet, which matters where something sits hard against the wall in front of it.

        The 40079 uses 1.0mm conductors in a 2C+E configuration. Conductor size is one of the things that sets what current a lead can carry, alongside the 10 A rating stated for this product.

        The NLS 40079 carries 1 year for domestic use and 1 year for commercial use. The warranty runs from the invoice date, and the method is return to Sparky Direct. Warranty is void if the product is not installed by a licensed electrician.

        The NLS 40079 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
