This adaptor is designed specifically for Type L sockets. Note that some older Italian buildings may have Type C sockets (two round pins), and this adaptor does not cover those. If you’re unsure, check with your accommodation before travelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this work in other European countries?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis adaptor is designed specifically for \u003cstrong\u003eItaly (Type L)\u003c\/strong\u003e sockets. Most other European countries (France, Germany, Spain, etc.) use Type C or Type E\/F sockets, which are not compatible with this adaptor. If you need coverage for multiple European countries, consider a universal European adaptor instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does ‘earthed’ mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn earthed adaptor carries the earth (ground) connection from the UK plug through to the socket. This provides an extra layer of safety for devices that require an earth connection. It is suitable for small electrical devices such as phone chargers, shavers, tablets, and laptops. Always check your device’s manual if you’re unsure whether it requires earthing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this change the voltage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — this is a \u003cstrong\u003eplug adaptor only\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a voltage converter. Italy operates on \u003cstrong\u003e230V\/50Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e, the same as Ireland and the UK, so no voltage conversion is needed for standard UK\/Irish devices. Most modern electronics (phone chargers, laptops) are dual-voltage and will work fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a hair dryer or hair straightener with this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis adaptor is rated for \u003cstrong\u003esmall electrical devices only\u003c\/strong\u003e. High-wattage appliances like hair dryers and straighteners draw significantly more current and may exceed the adaptor’s rated load. Check the wattage rating on both the adaptor and your appliance before use. Since Italy runs on 230V (same as Ireland\/UK), voltage conversion is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many devices can I plug in at once?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003esingle entry\u003c\/strong\u003e adaptor — it accepts one UK\/Irish plug at a time. If you need to charge multiple devices simultaneously, bring a multi-port USB charger or a travel extension lead with a single UK plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe to use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — this adaptor is certified to \u003cstrong\u003eIEC 60884\u003c\/strong\u003e, the international standard for plug adaptors, covering safety requirements for insulation, contact integrity, and labelling. Always purchase travel adaptors from reputable sources, as uncertified adaptors can pose a fire or electrocution risk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Travel Accessories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58796843729231,"sku":"533.101","price":9.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/5330\/4399\/files\/UK_ireland_to_italy_plug_adaptor.avif?v=1789569657","url":"https:\/\/www.carews.ie\/sv\/products\/go-travel-adaptor-uk-ireland-to-italy","provider":"Carews.ie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
