Product Overview

The Elite Elegance 81820 is a 20A connection plate in the 81 Range, engineered by Zhejiang Tao’s Electric (est. 2000). Built around a UV-stable, flame-retardant polycarbonate panel (750 °C glow-wire) and the universal 86 × 86 mm flush wall box shared by every 81 Range device. CE, UKCA, SQM, GCC, ECAS, RoHS2.0 and CB Scheme compliance is independently certified; the SKU is registered in 40+ countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe and SE Asia

ELITE ELEGANCE presents the 81820 — 20A Connection Plate, a purpose-built wiring accessory designed to provide a neat, safe termination point between fixed electrical wiring and an appliance flexible cord. Also known as a flex outlet plate, this 20A connection plate is used where an appliance or piece of equipment is hard-wired rather than plugged into a socket. The central cable aperture allows a flexible cord to exit cleanly through the faceplate, while the rear terminal block provides a secure 20A connection plate for live, neutral, and earth conductors

This product is ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where a dedicated connection point is required for fixed equipment. Typical examples include immersion heaters, panel heaters, bathroom heaters, towel rails, built-in appliances, extractor hoods, pumps, and other hard-wired loads within the 20A rating. The 81820 combines reliable electrical performance with the clean, modern appearance of the 81 Range, making it a practical choice for electricians, builders, and facility managers

Product Overview and Key Features

The 81820 is a single-gang connection plate with a 20A connection plate rated terminal block. It is not a socket outlet and does not include a switch or neon indicator. Its function is to terminate fixed wiring and connect it to an appliance flexible cord, with the cord passing through the central aperture in the faceplate

Key features include:

20A Rated Connection: Suitable for fixed appliances and equipment drawing up to 20A connection plate, depending on circuit design and local regulations

Flex Outlet Function: Provides a clean exit point for an appliance flexible cord through the central cable aperture

Live, Neutral and Earth Terminals: Rear terminal block accepts fixed wiring conductors for secure connection

Single-Gang Format: Fits standard 86 × 86 mm flush wall boxes used across the 81 Range

Premium PC Panel: UV-stable, flame-retardant polycarbonate construction with 750 °C glow-wire resistance, impact strength, and electrical insulation

Clean, Low-Profile Design: Maintains visual continuity with other 81 Range plates in homes, offices, hotels, and commercial interiors

Installer-Friendly: Accessible rear terminals and a clear cable entry point support fast, secure installation by qualified electricians

Durable Finish: Resists discoloration, scratching, and everyday wear in high-traffic areas

Design and Construction

The 81820 is built around a robust 20A terminal block housed behind a precision-molded PC faceplate. The 20A connection plate central circular opening is designed for flexible cord entry, allowing the appliance cable to pass through without compromising the plate’s appearance. The faceplate is molded from durable, flame-retardant PC material, delivering a refined surface finish that resists discoloration, scratching, and everyday wear. Its low-profile design blends with modern interior decors and matches the rest of the 81 Range

Performance and Reliability

Rated at 20A, the 81820 supports reliable power delivery for a broad range of fixed appliances. Internal conductive components are selected to maintain low contact resistance and reduce heat buildup under normal load conditions. The 20A connection plate is designed for secure conductor retention, helping to maintain stable electrical connections over time. When installed correctly and used within rated limits, the connection plate provides consistent performance for daily operation

Installation and Compatibility

Installation is straightforward for qualified electricians. The 81820 fits the standard 86 × 86 mm flush wall box used across the 81 Range. The fixed wiring is terminated at the rear terminal block, and the appliance flexible cord is routed through the central aperture. The single-gang footprint allows the plate to replace existing connection plates without significant structural modification

Applications and Use Cases

The ELITE ELEGANCE 81820 is suitable for a wide range of hard-wired applications. In residential environments, it is commonly used for immersion heaters, panel heaters, bathroom heaters, towel rails, extractor hoods, and built-in appliances. In commercial and hospitality spaces, it supports fixed equipment such as hand dryers, pumps, display lighting, and service-area machinery

Safety and reliability are central to the 81820 design. The flame-retardant PC panel, secure terminal block, and enclosed rear connections support safe daily operation. The product is manufactured to meet applicable international safety and performance standards, including CE, BSI, SASO, SONCAP, ISO 9001, IEC 60669-1, RoHS 2.0, and CB Scheme requirements. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations. Always isolate the circuit at the consumer unit before carrying out maintenance or wiring work
