Waterproof Outdoor 13A Storm Switched Single Socket IP66 Outside Use

I purchased this to attach to the outside of my house. It doesn’t come with any fixings, this is not an issue for me. The sections for the wires etc just push out with a screwdriver. It is well made and from durable materials. Being completely waterproof is it perfect for outdoor lights to be plugged into as a permanent fixing. The lid closes and locks with a plug in it, the ones with the clear lids don’t do this very well. It had a 13 amp fuse in the internal socket and also has a switch. The price is far cheaper than the likes of B&Q and Homebase.

Good value but I found that the neoprene cover gasket was a poor fit in it’s slot and tends to fall out when cover opened (might improve with time?). Also the knock-outs in the box side are flimsy - I applied sealant to top knock-out to ensure it won’t leak. Summing up - I won’t buy same again.

Good

Bought to replace a trailing socket for outside (waterproof) use. Absolutely meets that need with an easy to seal case, connections and with a cable gland added the cable. Has a quality standard BS socket inside so conforms to all requirements. Only downside is that it is a bit large and 'clunky' and I wonder how long the sealed cover locking mechanism will last....But so far (just a few weeks) fine.

Good strong casing,easy to install,water seal appears to be good.

the main body of plastic is good quality. But the flimsy seal comes adrift. But the realy bad news is the flip up cover , when lifted up detaches from the hinge point. very disappointed very annoying consider I had spent time fitting it and need to use it ! looks like I will have to poly bag it up to stop the rain getting in!

This does everything it's meant to but has an annoying design flaw. As there is an on/off switch the socket is off centre. Thus when a plug is pushed in the cable has to be bent to the right to go down through the opening. With a moulded plug, as fitted to lawnmowers etc. this is very difficult. Otherwise it does what it's meant to.

would have given it five stars but if you open the cover too far it comes of which is annoying but apart from that a good bit of kit that does the job at a reasonable price. There was a delay in delivery but that was down to Parcel force who are never very reliable in my experience.
