Installing a French electrical socket in a UK house?

Lisa Miles
Hi all


I've recently seen in one of the Facebook groups I'm a member of, someone asking for advice on installing a french electrical outlet in his home in the UK.


I'm guessing that it's because he has some European plugged equipment that he wants to be able to plug in without using some form of adaptor, because he says it "reverses the polarity".


Is this safe? Or even allowed? ?
