LEGRAND LAUNCHES A NEW RANGE OF PLUGS LEGRAND has introduced a range of plugs to the local market that meets the latest electrical standards, and also offers advanced features, enhanced aesthetics, user convenience and sim- ple installation. According to Legrand, the 164-2 plug will become essential in every household, as the new legislation of the wiring code states that all socket outlet points for new electrical installations shall include at least one socket-outlet complying with the SANS 164-2 and this may be combined with other types of socket-outlets.

Legrand’s newly-designed plugs – available in two standards (old and new South African) with white or magnesium finishes – have a modern, sleek look and are suitable for all electrical appliances. The new Legrand 2P and E 164-1 and 2P and E 164-2 plugs feature a solid brass pin with an insulated sleeve. The assembly plug accommodates a 1,5 mm cable with a screw terminal for fast connection. Technical specifications of these plugs are 16 A/250 V ac, with a maximum power of 4 000 W. Full range of products available Of critical importance to the Stone-Stamcor cus- tomer base in Cape Town, Talbot says, is that the full range of company products be available from the Cape Town branch. In short, this means that products from the electrical and mechanical divi- sions of the company will be on sale, along with repairs and advice on the whole product range. As noted above, the Johannesburg office will function in a support role where needed, but cus- tomers’ first port of call will be the local branch as the Cape Town staff members are well trained and able to assist with any queries customers may have. The Stone-Stamcor Electrical Division manufactures a comprehensive range of copper and aluminium compression cable connectors (lugs and ferrules) for fitment to cable conductors. Stone-Stamcor has been manufacturing locally for decades and has made a name for itself in the market and established its brand as one associated with well-designed products (which are tested to the SANS IEC 61238-1 standard), as well as reliability and customer service. The locally manufactured products are supplemented by other types of connectors for earthing and customer specific solutions for special applications. Stone-Stamcor also supplies a full range of compression crimping and cable cutting tools. The Mechanical Division represents several renowned international companies with high- quality brands. It can supply a range of industrial gearboxes, motors, linear motion control products, converting industry products and rotating unions, to name a few. “We may be moving, but as far as the product range and service from Stone-Stamcor is concerned, it’s business as usual. Once the move is completed, it will be business better than usual, a statement we will prove and reinforce every day as we go forward with our growth plans for the Cape Town branch and the region as a whole,” says Talbot.
