Will you suggest another solution.Doesn't even make sense. And you are just avoiding the questions asked.
A 15A round pin is suitable, but it us the shark makers warrantees that is the problem.

I always use solid links in my old table lamps which have that nice single insulated twisted flex, 3 amp fuses are rubbish and need replacing far too often when my old stock Chinese 150w bulbs blow, they only last a couple of weeks usually so I reckon I've saved ÂŁÂŁÂŁs in fuses.
Duh, the regs, you know, the regs we all know.... can't believe you have to ask really....the regs....In #8 you referred to Regs, which Regs?

I think I might be on a winner here!!I will sell you as many as you like for your own personal use.
ÂŁ12.50 each with a minimum order quantity of 100.

We follow many Regulations so I am interested which one you are referring to.You are on some sort of wind up! Or have you been on the weekend tipple?

Having inaccessible fuses is a no, no. Obvious.Why would you ever need to access such a fuse? if it has blown the appliance is faulty and will need to be pulled out to repair it anyway, at which point the fuse becomes accessible...
Is that for fun?Why bother trying to get solid fuse links XD

I enjoyed putting it together this evening.Is that for fun?
The thread is about two points:The most obvious solution that sprang to my apprentice's mind has since been suggested in post #36 - you have a fused spur above, so stick a flex outlet below.
This ain't rocket science and you're seriously overthinking a problem that's very unlikely to occur. How many such 'inaccessible' fuses have you had to replace and what caused those fuses to blow?
Define inaccessible and as I have asked on several times which Regulations are you referring to.Having inaccessible fuses is a no, no. Obvious.
Have fuses accessible like in say an FCU, which is also an isolator as as well.
If you have evidence of point 2 ever being enforced by a manufacturer successfully I'd be very surprised.The thread is about two points:
1) Where to buy solid links for 13A plugs?
2) Manufacturers not honouring warrantees because a moulded plug is cut off to hard wire the appliance or fit a round pin fuseless 15A plug.
Very neatly done too, but there's no live pin sticking out of the other side eh ? ?
Many Sparks do all sorts not to invalidate the warrantee. I am sure in court the makers would lose of an applaince conform to current regs and it is electrically safe and sound. But that is no comfort when the maker is being awkward. Electricians do not want the hassle factor, even if they know they are right, It loses them time and money.If you have evidence of point 2 ever being enforced by a manufacturer successfully I'd be very surprised.
I have provided you with a quote but not received an order yet.The thread is about two points:
