Adapters & Splitters

Adapters & Splitters expand, convert, and organize power so your tools and devices stay connected without hassle. From simple outlet adapters that turn one receptacle into three, to right‑angle plug adapters that fit behind cabinets, these small upgrades save space and reduce cord clutter in shops, garages, offices, and home setups.

Common options include wall taps, cube taps, and splitter cords (Y‑adapters) with one male plug and multiple female outlets. You’ll also find grounded 3‑to‑2 prong adapters, rotating and flat‑plug adapters for tight spaces, and outdoor‑rated splitters for holiday lighting or yard tools. For travelers, plug adapters match foreign outlet shapes, while USB wall adapters and splitters add charging ports for phones, tablets, and small electronics.

Benefits you can expect:
- Add outlets where you need them without running new wiring.
- Improve access behind furniture and equipment with low‑profile or rotating plugs.
- Power multiple low‑draw tools while keeping cables neat and reachable.
- Tailor connections: NEMA 5‑15, polarized, grounded, and locking variants for specific tasks.

How to choose the right electrical adapter or splitter:
- Verify ratings: match voltage and amperage (commonly 125V/15A) to your circuit and load.
- Check grounding and polarization for safety and code compliance.
- Look for UL, ETL, or CSA listings.
- Select spacing and orientation that fit bulky tool chargers and wall warts.
- For outdoor or damp areas, choose weather‑resistant models and use GFCI protection.
- If you need surge protection for electronics, use a surge protector; many simple splitters do not include it.

Usage tips:
- Avoid overloading; add up wattage of connected devices and stay under the lowest rated component.
- Do not daisy‑chain multiple adapters or splitters.
- Keep cords untangled and away from heat or moving parts.
- For older two‑slot outlets, only use 3‑to‑2 adapters if you can bond the ground tab to a grounded metal cover screw.

Shop outlet adapters, plug splitters, wall taps, and USB adapters to expand capacity safely and keep your power setup clean, efficient, and ready for work.
