The IP66 rating protects the internal components against heavy rain and dust ingress, allowing the socket to remain operational in exposed outdoor locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential gardens, commercial outdoor areas, and light industrial applications, the kit suits powering lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, pressure washers, outdoor heaters, festoon lighting, and other external electrical equipment. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is turned off, and the RCD plug provides additional earth-leakage protection for tools and appliances. A neon indicator on the enclosure confirms when the socket is live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black polycarbonate housing measures 170.5mm wide by 153.5mm high with an 84mm projection from the wall, providing sufficient internal depth for cable terminations and the dual-gang socket mechanism. The enclosure includes an earth terminal for bonding the socket back box to the supply earth, and the hinged weatherproof lid closes over the outlet apertures when the socket is not in use. The 3m cable length allows the kit to be wired back to an indoor consumer unit or garage distribution board without requiring additional cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires fixing the housing to an external wall with masonry plugs and screws, running the cable back to the supply point, and terminating the cable into the RCD plug. The cable gland provides an IP66 seal where the cable enters the housing, and the polycarbonate construction resists UV degradation and impact damage. The kit is supplied as Class I earthed equipment, requiring connection to a protective earth conductor.\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\u003e153.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3m\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\u003eNeon Indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Year Guarantee\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\/datasheet-OPRCDKIT.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 IP66 mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP66 provides protection against powerful water jets from any direction and complete protection against dust ingress.
