Weatherproof 13A Two Gang DP Switched Socket Black

Keep your outdoor space safely powered with the Saxby Electrical Weatherproof 13A Two Gang DP Switched Socket. This robust double socket delivers reliable electrical access for gardens, patios, workshops, and outdoor entertaining without compromising on weather protection.

Total Control With Double Pole Switching
The double pole (DP) switched design provides a crucial safety advantage for outdoor use—both electrical contacts are fully isolated when switched off, cutting power completely rather than just the live wire. This is essential for anyone working with electrical equipment outdoors and offers peace of mind whether you're powering garden tools, heating systems, or entertainment devices. Each gang switches independently, giving you control over multiple devices without affecting the other socket.

IP66 Rated Protection You Can Trust
Built to withstand the harshest British weather, this socket achieves IP66 certification—meaning complete protection against water jets and dust when the cover is closed. Whether you're facing heavy rain, morning dew, or pressure-washing your patio, the sealed enclosure keeps moisture out entirely. This level of protection extends the socket's lifespan significantly compared to standard alternatives and eliminates the worry of electrical hazards from water exposure.

Durable Design Built to Last
The black polycarbonate housing is engineered for outdoor punishment. It resists UV fading that turns other outdoor sockets grey or discolored over time, maintains structural integrity in extreme temperatures, and won't crack under impact from tools or accidental knocks. Reinforced mounting points and a hinged cover with a positive-action locking mechanism ensure everything stays secure in place year-round.

Flexible Installation For Any Location
Multiple cable entry points—knockouts on top, sides, and bottom—let you install this socket wherever makes practical sense without compromising the weatherproof seal. Whether your feed comes from above, below, or the side, you'll find a cable entry that works. Clearly marked, colour-coded terminals and captive screws make the electrical installation straightforward for any competent electrician.

Purpose-Built For Outdoor Living
Two independent 13A outlets mean you can power a power tool and a garden heater simultaneously, run a water pump and outdoor lighting at the same time, or set up a complete entertainment zone without daisy-chaining extension leads across your garden. The black finish blends discreetly into most garden settings while maintaining a professional appearance.

Installation Notes
This socket must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with IET Wiring Regulations. It should be installed at least 2 meters from any body of water and must be protected by an RCD (residual current device) circuit breaker. The socket should be positioned at least 150cm above ground level where possible to minimize water ingress risk from ground-level flooding.
