Looks like a ‘hard wire’ 4 way splitter ?

just unplug it and sell it to your local Italian restaurant.

It’s kind of an extension lead/4 way adapter.
Allows you to have 4 items connected to one plug and socket.

Looks like one of the four terminals has no cover with fully exposed live parts

Better get some insulation tape over that...

Or better still sling the death trap in the bin

Unplug it before you sling it in the bin

The whole plug would be better but you never know you might need just the top one day

I believe that type of multiway connection unit was made by Masterplug, but not 100% certain. Never like them because the way the covers were secured on the plugs was very flimsy. Hence why one of yours had become detached.

As above, disconnect it and bin it. Fit standard 13A plug tops (hi George) and use a good branded multiway extension lead. If you're feeling really crazy then get a spark to fit you a couple of extra double sockets.

It's called a plug.

Not a plug top.

I thought we sorted this last week.
