BG Twin 13A Weatherproof Switched Socket IP66

This two-gang socket from BG gives you a durable power source for outside your home. Install it on the external wall of your house, shed or garage for a readily available power outlet that means you don't have to trail an extension lead from inside. This socket makes it easier than ever to power a lawnmower or pressure washer in the garden. It's also commonly used to power timer lights for decking or during the festive season.

The IP66 rating certifies the box is made to withstand harsh weather, stopping dust and rain from damaging the socket. Its polycarbonate housing is UV-stabilised so it will retain its professional look and not warp in high temperatures. Fittings are included to help make installation easy. The case has multiple knockouts for cabling access, and the in-built gasket makes it quick to secure after wiring. The lights above each socket indicate whether they're on or off, and are visible through the closed cover.

• Double locking clips for added security and protection

• Groove for securing plug cables neatly

• Polycarbonate housing is robust and durable

• IP66 rating protects sockets from rain or dust

• UV-stabilised so won’t warp or get damaged from the sun’s rays

    Push the front as you try to unlatch it you’re struggling to open

    ok maybe a dumb question...but will the IP66 rating apply if this item was mounted with a different orientation to the standard mounting instructions? e.g mounted horizontally rather then vertically.

    thanks

    I've found the installation instructions on the manufacturer's website, and it does state that:

    "1. The unit should be mounted on a clean, rigid vertical surface suitable toaccept screw type fixings. Surface should be reasonably flat as unevennesscould cause product damage or affect operation"

    Oh flip, purchased other day at £9.50 from Homebase which was better than anywhere else at the time & now and they’re running 15% off - typical! 🤦‍♂️
    Very sturdy bit of kit I must say. Now sat on my outside wall having replaced an old single socket

    Would this be suitable for running a granny charger to a car?

    Very good value, however, most electricians are reluctant to install outdoor sockets unless they have built-in circuit breakers. My guess is the this will become the regulated standard.
