Ireland Replace EU molded plug with UK plug

[mg19899]

Hi,
I am a homeowner and looking for DIY advise.


I bought a outdoor patio heater and it came with a EU plug as shown in picture.

It works fine with a UK converter but the problem I have is it won't fit with the connector on in the waterproof outdoor extension cable I bought.

So, I am looking to cut the moulded plug off and replace it with a UK plug with 13A fuse.
The problem is I am not sure what wire color coding I would find after I cut it off and dont want to start the replacement before having some more information. Any guidance please help. Thank you.

Cut it off so we can see the wire colours.

Sounds good. Thank you.

I'll cut off tomorrow and send a picture.

I would expect a European flex to be
brown L
blue N
green/yellow Earth
