Suitable Applications
Consider this metal clad socket for appropriately assessed installations in:
- Workshops and maintenance rooms.
- Warehouses and stores.
- Garages and utility rooms.
- Dry commercial service areas.
- Permanent building installations requiring surface-mounted accessories.
IP20 is intended for dry, protected locations. This socket has no rated protection against water ingress, so choose an appropriately rated weatherproof socket for exposed outdoor or wet areas.
Choosing a Socket for Workshop Use
Match the outlet to the equipment and installation conditions. A metal housing does not make a 13A socket suitable for every workshop machine.
Have a qualified electrician confirm the appliance load, starting current, circuit protection, cable sizing and earthing of exposed metal parts. Check the socket dimensions, cable entries and supplied mounting box before ordering.
