The socket mounts to a wall or panel surface via two fixing holes on the white ABS base, with the blue socket body angled at approximately 45 degrees to the mounting plane for easier cable insertion and removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for workshop, industrial, construction site and outdoor temporary power installations where a weatherproof 32A connection is needed without the depth required for a flush-mounted socket. The IP44 rating makes it suitable for covered outdoor locations or indoor areas where water spray or heavy condensation may occur, though it is not rated for continuous immersion or direct hosing. The angled orientation keeps plugged cables pointing downward, reducing strain on the connection when used on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket accepts a PG21 cable gland fitting (supplied with a PG21 to M20 adaptor in the box) to maintain the IP44 seal where the supply cable enters the back of the white base. The blue socket body is manufactured from impact-resistant thermoplastic and the white base from ABS, giving a combined weight suitable for screw fixing to timber, masonry or metal panel surfaces. Dimensions are 142mm height, 71mm width, 97mm depth from the wall when mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e142 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\u003e97 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\/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_1059753_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 splashing water from any direction and solid objects above 1mm. The socket can be used outdoors in covered locations (under eaves, in sheds, on covered loading bays) but should not be exposed to direct rain, hose spray or standing water.
