Choosing Mercury Products

Find the family first, then check the rating on the product itself: current and length on mains leads, size and blow speed on fuses, gain on aerials.

Mains leads, reels and adaptors

Extension leads include the 429.797UK, an 8 gang lead with surge protection and a neon switch per socket, and the 429.743UK 2 gang lead at 5.0m. Extension reels such as the 429.871UK have a thermal cut out and a 13A fused plug, and the 429.880UK garden reel has two IP54 splashproof sockets on 20m of orange cable. The 429.617UK is a rewirable 4 gang trailing socket, the 114.003UK a UK plug to IEC C13 lead, and the 429.905UK lets a UK plug fit a European Schuko socket.

Fuses

Glass fuses come slow blow, such as the 787.005UK 315mA, and quick blow, such as the 787.342UK 6 x 32mm 20A, mostly in packs of ten. The 799.050UK is an assortment of 160 quick blow 5 x 20mm fuses from 0.5A to 10A.

Cable, TV and data

The 804.341UK is 3183Y three core round PVC flex, the 801.422UK figure 8 speaker cable mixes copper and CCA conductors, and the 808.011UK is Cat6 U/UTP cable on a 305m box. For television, the 120.503UK is a mains powered amplified indoor aerial and the 130.031UK a 4 way distribution amplifier with a 5G/4G filter.

Test, tools and power

The 600.100UK multimeter has 32 ranges and the 600.113UK clamp meter reads up to 600A AC, and the 700.744UK is a 30W soldering iron. The 652.100UK inverter gives a pure sine wave and the 652.002UK a modified sine wave, each producing 230V from a 12V or 24V battery. The 421.725UK is a 65W GaN USB charger with interchangeable UK, US and EU plugs.
