Description
Heavy gauge steel gives the MK Metalclad Plus K2946ALM a tough, impact-resistant finish, making this 2 gang 13A double socket a dependable choice for garages, workshops, sheds and factories. Each socket has its own double pole switch, and the unit arrives complete with a matching surface box fitted with knockouts for cable entry.
Inside, backed-out in-line terminals with printed markings on the grey rear moulding make wiring clear and straightforward, with capacity for 3 x 2.5mm², 3 x 4mm² or 2 x 6mm² cables. The neutral contact makes first and breaks last for added safety, and child-resistant shutters open only when all three pins of a plug are inserted. Made to BS 1363. To complete a metal clad installation, pair it with our 13A metal clad fused spur.
