Cord Protector -Outlet Wall Tap-Side Entry-Great for Behind Furniture-UL Listed

by American Science & Surplus

Product Description

Six-Way Flat Outlet A handy space-saver, this 6-outlet tap expands a double outlet (with grounded plugs) to take (6) grounded plugs. In medium-gray plastic, it measures 4-3/4" x 3-1/8" x 1-1/4" thick, with the outlets on the long sides. The plugs run in the same direction, along the long axis. Can also be flush-mounted if you remove the existing wall plate, since it will take a long screw through to the outlet threads, but you'll need to supply this. Rated for a maximum of 15A. Great for behind furniture, TVs, etc. UL.

While the product does technically function, it won't give you a warm fuzzy feeling. I ordered three of these, out of those, only one will allow cords to plug all the way into the tap. The other two will only allow a plug to be inserted approximately halfway, leaving exposed contacts. Cheaply constructed and not particularly safe.

The outlet is fine for what it is. My only real issue is that the 3 of these that I purchased came in a bulk box - clearly cheaper than being individually packaged - which is GOOD, but the pack of center screws that secure the outlet to the wall were not checked. They were all TOO SHORT to clear the depth of the outlet, let alone reach the wall. Details matter ... not paying for packaging is a bonus, but having to hunt down usable parts is not.
P.S. A version in white would be Great!

i have older (but functional) outlets in visible areas of my home. buying a nice new outlet and coverplate is $3 plus 20 minutes of installation including mucking around with the breakers. with this, you unscrew the old coverplate, plug it in and secure it with the provided screw. genius! it looks clean and new, even if the color is not a perfect match. i bet it can be carefully painted also.
