For lovers of the Haco P001 and P002 plugs. Simple DIY replacement!

Featured Replies

The now defunct Haco P001 and P002 plugs allowed the cables to hang vertically down the wall, great for those spaces behind furniture.

 

Sadly, Haco stopped making them as they don't comply with the latest TIS 166-2549 standard, and, despite them promising a replacement, none has appeared.

 

Just to remind you: -

I've been on the lookout for a replacement for a while and these popped onto my radar: -

Of course, they don't work properly with double outlets, wrong angle and you cannot fit two: -

However, a 5-minute modification using a small saw and needle file allows you to do this: -

Once you have the beast apart just saw/file two new alignment slots and the job is done: -

Easy-peasy 🙂

Hurray, thank you Crossy.

I got a few of those Häco plugs too. They struck me as being a bit "iffy" in terms of size etc. Didn't stop me using them though.

Something along similar lines is this Chang socket which I put to good use.

Note te earth hole is above the L & N holes just like in the UK.

That is purely a matter of choice! Note that the writing is upside down. 
I just had my workshop plugs sumplimented to ad 3 more in every location so about 70 extras. But HäCO has them the correct way up by default

Ahaa. There's no hiding such important detail from you. 

However I should point out that the power for that outlet comes from my solar inverter so it makes sense to invert the sockets to make sure the electrons come out the right way up. 

It's a sort of double inversion so to speak.
