A private pitch that allows a splitter
You already have a blue 16 A outlet, and the pitch rules allow a second socket. The Xtremeauto is about £9.99, with IP44 stated and 4.8 from 175 reviews. Both sockets still share one supply.

The best 2 way splitters, compared.
Top pick: Zephanor 16 A 2 way hook-up splitter Updated 22.10.2026.
Charlie White (Charlie DIYte)Expert source
A 2-way splitter here is a mains block with one inlet and two outlets, not a hose fitting, a headphone lead, or a TV aerial splitter. UK pitch sockets are blue BS EN 60309-2 connectors, at least IP44, with earth at the 6 h position. Both outlets share the bollard, up to 16 A (about 3.68 kW at 230 V) and sometimes only 10 A (2,300 W). Buy one only for a private pitch, a workshop, or a site that has allowed it in writing. None of these pages prints BS EN 60309. The checks are in the [2-way splitter buying guide](/hub/electrical-equipment/2-way-splitter/sub/2-way-splitter-buying-guide). So is a tent unit with 13 A sockets and an, and so is a short 30 cm or 0.5 m lead sold by trade shops. If the pitch rules ban joints and splitters, do not buy one for that pitch. The and and the and both prohibit splitters and want one continuous hook-up lead. On those sites an awning load is taken from sockets inside the outfit. A private pitch, a workshop, or written permission is the setting these blocks are for.

Which 2 way splitter fits this pitch?
Question 1 of 2
Where will the block sit?
The best 2 way splitters in detail
Our view
The Zephanor listing is a 1-in, 2-out 16 A splitter at £9.99 with IP44 stated and brass terminals in the bullets. Only two amazon.co.uk reviews sit behind the 5.0 line. One person uses it on a static van, and the other called it useful in an emergency but had not used it yet, so the star line is not a season on the road. The technical row gives an item weight of 80 g and a package of 20 x 19 x 2 cm, which is light next to the 240–260 g blocks in this set and is not explained. The page also says it can act as a reverse-polarity adapter, without saying how. Maximum wattage is not stated, and no MCB or RCD is named. Treat the IP44 line as a listing claim with almost no field reports, at the same £9.99 as the block that has 175 reviews.
Pros
- IP44 stated on the listing
- £9.99, the same shelf price as the larger-sample block
- Brass terminals claimed in the bullets
- Title describes a 3-pin hook-up splitter
Cons
- 5.0 from only 2 reviews, and one buyer had not used it
- Listed weight of 80 g, light next to the other blocks and unexplained
- Reverse-polarity claim with no method given
- No voltage, conductor size, or named protective device
Best for: You already accept a two-review sample and you want a second stated IP44 at £9.99 to compare in the hand.
Less suitable: A first hook-up splitter, or any pitch where you need reviews that describe a full season of use.

Common questions
What IP rating is stated?
The listing states IP44 and describes the splitter as waterproof to that rating. Maximum wattage is not stated.
What weight does the listing give?
The technical details give an item weight of 80 g and a package size of 20 x 19 x 2 cm.
How many reviews are there?
The listing shows 5.0 from 2 reviews. One reviewer had not used it yet. The other uses it on a static van.
Our view
The Xtremeauto XAPSL is a 2-way 16 A hook-up block at £9.99, and reviewers use it to run a van plus an awning, two caravans, or festival kit from one campsite socket. Across 175 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.8, the only large sample in this set, and the listing states IP44 for damp outdoor use. People often call it easy to connect and sturdy for the price. The page says protection against overload and short circuits is built in, but it never names an MCB, a fuse, or an RCD, so that line is not a device you can check. One reviewer could not get it into their hook-up box, and another found the cable loose once it was inserted. A third thought a similar block was cheaper at Go Outdoors. It is the strongest documented option here for a private pitch that already allows a splitter, and both sockets still share one supply.
Pros
- IP44 stated for damp outdoor use
- 4.8 from 175 amazon.co.uk reviews
- £9.99, with reviewers calling it sturdy for camping
- Reviews mention a van plus an awning, or two caravans
- At least one review says the cables connect and disconnect easily
Cons
- One hook-up box would not accept it
- One report of a loose cable once inserted
- Overload protection is claimed but no device is named
- No conductor size and no BS EN 60309 line on the listing
Best for: A private pitch or workshop that already allows a blue 16 A splitter, when you want the listing with the largest review count in this set.
Less suitable: A Caravan and Motorhome Club or Camping and Caravanning Club pitch, or a hook-up box that has already refused a block of this shape.

Common questions
Does the listing state an IP rating?
Yes. The Xtremeauto listing states IP44 and says the splitter is for outdoor use in damp conditions.
Is an overload device named?
The listing says protection against overloading and short circuits is built in. It does not name an MCB, a fuse, or an RCD.
What do the reviews say about fit?
The listing shows 4.8 from 175 reviews. Captured comments include easy camping use. One reviewer said it did not fit their electrical box, and another said the cable was loose.
Our view
This xuergu block is listed at £11.49 as a blue 16 A 2-way caravan splitter, with 220–250 V AC, polypropylene and copper, and a 2-year warranty on the page. The star line is 4.8 from 20 reviews, and several people say it shares a supply and felt decent for the money, including one reviewer in France who used it in mixed weather. The attribute row then says Type G and a prong count of 2, which does not describe a blue 16 A 2P+E hook-up plug, so you should look at the pins before you trust the title. There is no IP code, only the word waterproof. A UK reviewer who identified as an electrician judged a core at the crimp to be about 1 mm and too small for 16 A, and warned that a 3 kW kettle on one outlet would likely overload it. That is one person’s look at one unit, not a lab test of the batch, and the listing never states conductor size. At the highest price in this set, those conflicts matter more than the stars.
Pros
- 220–250 V AC stated, with a 2-year warranty on the listing
- Blue polypropylene and copper named on the page
- 4.8 from 20 reviews, with praise for sharing a supply
- One reviewer reported use in mixed weather
Cons
- Attribute row says Type G and 2 prongs, against a 16 A caravan title
- No IP code, only the word waterproof
- One UK review judged the core about 1 mm and too small for 16 A
- £11.49, the highest price in this set
Best for: You have already checked that the pins are a blue 16 A 2P+E hook-up plug and you accept a 20-review sample.
Less suitable: You need a stated IP44, a conductor size on the page, or a lower price than the £9.99 blocks.

Common questions
What plug type does the listing give?
The attribute row says Type G and a prong count of 2. The title is a 16 A caravan hook-up splitter and the colour is blue. Both statements are on the listing.
Is an IP code stated?
No. The listing uses the word waterproof and also says dustproof and flame retardant. It does not print an IP number.
What did a reviewer say about the cable?
One UK review says the core looked about 1 mm and too small for a 16 A claim, and that a 3 kW kettle on one outlet would likely overload it. The listing rating is 4.8 from 20 reviews.
Our view
The Lunyloer 2-way block is the lowest price here at £8.99, with a 16 A title, polypropylene and copper, brass guides, and a claim of splash and weather resistance. The listing is 4.2 from 17 reviews. Some buyers say it looks sturdy and does what it says, and one person was still waiting to try it at a caravan. A verified review says that unit was wired wrongly and that all the cables were loose. That is a single report rather than a counted failure rate, and it is still the sort of fault you do not shrug off on a mains adaptor. There is no IP code and no voltage row. The page was first listed on 30 August 2025, so the review history is short. The pound saved against the £9.99 blocks does not buy a named protective device or a printed standard.
Pros
- Lowest price in the set at £8.99
- Polypropylene, copper, and brass guides stated
- Some reviews say it looks sturdy and does what it says
- Splash and weather resistance claimed on the listing
Cons
- One verified review: wired wrongly, with loose cables
- 4.2 from 17 reviews, below the other star lines
- No IP code on the listing
- No named MCB, fuse, or RCD
Best for: A spare you will inspect for tight pins and sensible wiring before it sees a bollard, if you have already read the fault report.
Less suitable: A first hook-up splitter when you want the larger review sample, or any listing you expect to show an IP code.

Common questions
Does the listing give an IP rating?
No. It says the 16 A socket is resistant to splashes and weather. It does not print an IP code.
What is the price and the review count?
The captured listing price is £8.99. The rating line is 4.2 out of 5 from 17 reviews.
Is there a wiring complaint?
Yes. One verified review says the unit was wired wrongly and the cables were loose. Other captured reviews say it looks sturdy or does what it says.
How we compared
Four 16 A 2-way hook-up splitters on amazon.co.uk were scored from listings captured on 19 October 2026. There was no lab test. A 5.0 from two reviews is not treated as a measured top pick. The start is four blocks that sum to 100: amazon.co.uk stars, review volume, stated equipment, and price in this set. Points then come off for a tiny sample, an unused review, a plug-type row that conflicts with the title, a verified wrong-wiring report, a core a reviewer judged far below 2.5 mm², a loose cable, or a hook-up box that would not accept the block. Support notes were not on the listing files, so no support deduction is applied. None of the four pages prints BS EN 60309, so that gap is shared and does not separate the scores. Xtremeauto scores 80. Zephanor scores 48. xuergu scores 44. Lunyloer scores 40.

2 way splitter buying guide
Start with permission, then the connector, then the shared current. Weather claims and review counts come after those three. The notes below follow the four amazon.co.uk listings captured on 19 October 2026. None of the scores is a lab test.
What is a 2 way splitter?
A 2-way splitter here is one inlet and two outlets on a mains block. The four amazon.co.uk listings are 16 A caravan or motorhome hook-up splitters, captured from about £8.99 to about £11.49. A hose fitting, a headphone lead, and a TV aerial splitter are different products. So is a tent unit with 13 A sockets and an RCD, and so is a short 30 cm or 0.5 m lead sold by trade shops. Those shapes are not these four listings.
Best for
- A private pitch or workshop that already has a blue 16 A outlet and permission to add a second socket
- A festival or generator supply where both loads still share one breaker
- Someone comparing a stated IP44 at about £9.99 against the listing with 175 reviews
Not ideal for
- A Caravan and Motorhome Club or Camping and Caravanning Club pitch, where splitters are prohibited
- Anyone reading 16 A as 16 A on each socket, or 32 A in total
- A buyer who needs a printed BS EN 60309 line, a named RCD, or a stated conductor size
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying the wrong kind of splitter
A hose fitting, a headphone lead, and a TV aerial splitter are not this product. A BS 1363 13 A square-pin adaptor is not a blue 16 A hook-up plug either. The xuergu row that says Type G has to be checked against the pins.
- 2
Treating 16 A as current on each socket
The number on the shell is the claimed rating of the block. Both outlets share the bollard. Clubs describe that supply as up to 16 A, about 3.68 kW at 230 V, and sometimes only 10 A (2,300 W) or less. It is not 32 A in total.
- 3
Trusting waterproof when no IP code is printed
Xtremeauto and Zephanor state IP44. xuergu says waterproof and Lunyloer says splash-resistant, with no IP number. IP44 is splash protection, not immersion. A club pitch still bans the splitter even when an IP code is printed.
What to weigh up
Permission and the connector
HighIf the pitch rules ban joints and splitters, do not buy one for that pitch. The Caravan and Motorhome Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club both prohibit them and want one continuous hook-up lead, about 25 m plus or minus 2 m, at least 2.5 mm², with blue connectors. An awning on those sites is fed from the outfit. A private pitch, a workshop, or written permission is the case these four listings are for.
Shared current, weather and evidence
High16 A on the shell is not 16 A per socket. Add the loads and stay inside the pitch breaker. About 3.68 kW at 230 V is the 16 A figure the clubs use, and some pitches are only 10 A (2,300 W) or less. A habitation circuit in the van may be 10 A even when the bollard is 16 A. None of these listings states conductor size. Clubs ask for at least 2.5 mm² on a 16 A hook-up lead. One UK review on xuergu judged a core at about 1 mm.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
A second IP44 block to compare in the hand
You accept a two-review sample and you want another stated IP44 at the same £9.99. The Zephanor lists IP44. One of the two reviewers had not used it. It is not the top pick.
Pins you will look at before you trust the title
The xuergu page says Type G and also says a 16 A caravan hook-up. Buy it only after you have seen a blue 16 A 2P+E plug, and you accept 20 reviews at about £11.49.
Common questions about 2 way splitters
Which 2 way splitter is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is the Xtremeauto XAPSL, about £9.99, with 4.8 from 175 amazon.co.uk reviews and IP44 stated for damp outdoor use. The score is 80 after a loose-cable note and one hook-up box that would not accept it. The listing says overload and short-circuit protection is built in, but it does not name an MCB, a fuse, or an RCD. Both sockets still share one supply. This is not a lab test, and the page does not print BS EN 60309.
Can you use a 2 way splitter on a UK club campsite?
No. The Caravan and Motorhome Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club both prohibit splitters and want one continuous hook-up lead. On those pitches, take an awning load from sockets inside the outfit. A splitter is for a private pitch, a workshop, or a site that has allowed it in writing. The club lead they describe is about 25 m, plus or minus 2 m, at least 2.5 mm², with blue connectors and no joint in that run.
Does 16 A on a splitter mean 16 A on each socket?
No. The 16 A figure is the claimed rating of the block, not 16 A on each socket and not 32 A in total. Both outlets share the bollard. The clubs describe that supply as up to 16 A, about 3.68 kW at 230 V, and sometimes only 10 A, which is 2,300 W, or less. Add the appliances together and stay inside the pitch breaker. A habitation circuit inside the van may be only 10 A even when the bollard is 16 A.
What plug should a UK hook-up splitter have?
You need the blue 200–250 V 16 A 2P+E plug that mates with a UK bollard: BS EN 60309-2, earth at the 6 h position. A BS 1363 13 A square-pin adaptor is a different object. None of these four listings prints BS EN 60309. The xuergu attribute row says Type G and a prong count of 2, which does not describe that blue hook-up plug, so look at the pins before you trust the title. Zephanor’s title says a 3-pin splitter.
Which of these listings states an IP rating?
Xtremeauto and Zephanor state IP44. xuergu uses the word waterproof and Lunyloer says splash and weather resistant, and neither prints an IP code. IET guidance asks for at least IP44 on a pitch socket. IP44 is splash protection, not immersion. Stars do not fill that gap. Zephanor’s 5.0 comes from two reviews, and one buyer had not used it, so that line is not a measured top pick.
How much do these 2 way splitters cost on amazon.co.uk?
On the four shelves captured on 19 October 2026, Lunyloer is about £8.99, Zephanor and Xtremeauto are about £9.99, and xuergu is about £11.49. The lowest price is not a best value. Lunyloer has a verified review of wrong wiring and loose cables, so that award is withheld. Nearby shop prices for other blocks are not these ASINs. Today’s Amazon price can move. Both sockets still share one supply.
When should you stop and call a competent person?
Stop if the housing is open, hot, cracked, or melted, if the RCD test does not trip, if polarity is wrong, or if there is no earth. Call a competent person if a core needs reterminating, or if the breaker trips again after the extra load is removed. Do not daisy-chain leads, and do not exceed the marked current. Four outlets are a different comparison: see the 4 way splitter. These four listings are two-way blocks only.
Does the Xtremeauto listing name an RCD or an MCB?
No. The Xtremeauto page says protection against overloading and short circuits is built in. It does not name an MCB, a fuse, or an RCD, so that line is not a device you can check. Do not treat it as a substitute for the RCD on the pitch supply. The review line is 4.8 from 175, the largest sample here. One reviewer could not fit the block into a hook-up box, and another found the cable loose once inserted.
Our verdict
In this set of four amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick is the Xtremeauto XAPSL. It is about £9.99, with 4.8 from 175 reviews, IP44 stated, and a score of 80 after a loose-cable note and one hook-up box that would not accept it. No best value is awarded. Lunyloer is the lowest shelf price at about £8.99, and a verified wrong-wiring review means that pound is not a value tip. Zephanor matches £9.99 and states IP44, but 5.0 from two reviews, one of them unused, does not beat the 175-review block at the same price. xuergu is about £11.49, with a Type G row against a 16 A caravan title. None of these scores is a lab test. None of the four listings prints BS EN 60309. Both sockets share the bollard.
Best value
Not awarded. Lunyloer is lowest at about £8.99, with a verified wrong-wiring review. Zephanor matches £9.99 and states IP44, but two reviews, one unused, do not beat the 175-review block.
