Rugged sockets for working spaces

Metal clad sockets are made for garages, workshops and utility areas where a plastic faceplate would take more knocks than it should. Powder-coated steel plates give a hard-wearing surface, and the steel back box mounts to the wall to take the same treatment. They are a practical choice anywhere the look matters less than holding up to daily use.

Single and double gang outlets

The range pairs steel plates with 13A inserts in single and double gang. Switched and unswitched units cover the basics, while double pole switching with neon shows at a glance when a socket is live. RCD-protected sockets are also here for added protection on the outlet itself.

Charging and data points

Some plates add dual USB-A and USB-C points so a phone or device can charge straight from the wall without taking up a 13A outlet. Alongside power, the range carries metal clad telephone and network points, including master and extension styles, all sized for steel back boxes so a workshop can keep its data runs as rugged as its sockets.

Cooker control in metal clad

A 45A cooker control unit rounds out the range, bringing the same steel-plate build to a higher-rated switch. That suits a utility or commercial kitchen where the wiring needs to be robust and the fitting hard-wearing.

Fitting

Mounting and wiring these into steel back boxes is best left to a qualified electrician. Free UK delivery over £99, worldwide shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are metal clad sockets used for?
They suit garages, workshops, utility rooms and commercial spaces where a fitting needs to stand up to knocks and daily wear. The powder-coated steel plate is harder wearing than a standard plastic faceplate.

Do they need a special back box?
Yes. Metal clad sockets and the telephone and network points in this range are sized to mount on steel back boxes rather than the flush boxes used for standard plates.

What is the difference between switched and double pole switched?
A switched socket breaks the live side, while a double pole switched unit breaks both live and neutral. Many double pole units add a neon indicator so you can see when the socket is on.

Are there options with USB charging?
Yes. Some metal clad plates include dual USB-A and USB-C points alongside the 13A outlet, so a device can charge without using up a socket.

Can I fit a metal clad socket myself?
Mounting and wiring into a steel back box is best handed to a qualified electrician, who can set it up safely for the space it is going in.
