2 Gang 13A Outdoor Socket - IP66 Screwless Switched Double Socket

This 2 gang 13A switched outdoor socket is IP66 rated when in use: it stays fully dust-tight and protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction. It is part of the MK Masterseal Plus Rapid Fix range: a grey polycarbonate enclosure housing Logic Plus Rapid Fix socket outlets with screwless terminals, for quicker and more reliable connections.

The enclosure seals around virtually any standard 13A plug, including moulded plug tops, and keeps its protection while appliances are plugged in. It suits external walls, gardens, garages and workshops, as well as indoor areas where dust or water is a risk, such as commercial kitchens, swimming pools, factories and warehouses. The sockets are made to BS 1363. For more sockets and switches from the same manufacturer, explore our MK Electric range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this outdoor socket have RCD protection built in?
No. It has no built-in RCD, so the circuit must be protected by a 30mA RCD, for example at the consumer unit.

Does it stay IP66 with a plug connected?
Yes. The rating applies in use, as the enclosure closes and seals around the plug.
