3-Pin Plug Top Replacement

Keep your tools and extension leads safe, compliant and ready for work.
 

Damaged, cracked, loose or deteriorated plug tops can create a serious electrical safety risk. STAT™​ | Statewide Compliance Testing™ provides 3-pin plug top removal and replacement for suitable power tools, extension leads, power cords and other electrical equipment.
 

Where a plug top is damaged or no longer suitable for continued use, we can remove the faulty plug and replace it with a suitable Australian-approved 3-pin plug top, helping return the equipment to safe working condition.
 

When Should a Plug Top be Replaced?

A plug top may require replacement if it has:

​

• Cracks, splits or other physical damage

• Loose or damaged pins

• Signs of overheating or burning

• Damaged cable entry or strain relief

• Exposed or damaged wiring

• A loose connection inside the plug

• Signs of excessive wear or deterioration

• Been incorrectly fitted or previously repaired
   

If a plug or cable is damaged, don't simply put it back into service. Have it assessed by a competent person to determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Repair or Replace?

Not every damaged electrical item should be repaired.

​

Our technician will assess the condition of the plug, cable and equipment and determine whether a plug replacement is appropriate. If the equipment itself is damaged or presents a safety concern, further repair or replacement may be recommended.

​

We don't just replace the plug — we look at the equipment as a whole.
