The angled design positions the outlet face at approximately 45° to the mounting surface, improving cable routing clearance and reducing strain on plugged-in leads in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for industrial, construction and outdoor event installation, the IP44 rating provides protection against solid objects over 1mm and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for both indoor workshops and covered outdoor locations. The 2P+E configuration supplies live, neutral and earth connections at 240V, handling loads up to 16A (3,840W). The socket mounts directly onto walls, workbenches or equipment enclosures using the two fixing holes on the rear base plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue socket body and white base follow IEC 60309 colour coding for 240V single-phase industrial connectors, providing instant visual identification on site. The included PG21 cable gland allows direct cable entry through the rear of the socket body, with the PG21 to M20 adaptor offering compatibility with M20-threaded cable glands where site wiring standards require metric threading. The moulded plastic body withstands repeated plug insertion and removal cycles without cracking, and the hinged cover protects the outlet aperture when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e128 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue \u0026amp; White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1059747_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does IP44 mean for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP44 provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction.
