Weatherproof Socket with Type A RCD Protection
The Niglon H-BWS132R IP66 13A RCD Socket combines a standard 2-gang socket format with a built-in 30mA Type A passive RCD. This makes it a useful option where local RCD protection is required directly at the socket outlet.
Niglon specifies the RCD as Type A passive (latching), giving electricians a clearly defined RCD type when selecting the accessory for a suitable installation.
Modern Black Outdoor RCD Socket
Many weatherproof sockets are traditionally supplied in grey, while the Niglon Hurricane range uses a smart black enclosure. This gives the H-BWS132R a more contemporary appearance and allows it to blend well with black exterior fittings, dark cladding, garden structures and modern outdoor installations.
For customers searching for a black outdoor RCD socket, IP66 RCD socket or weatherproof double socket with RCD protection, the Niglon H-BWS132R IP66 13A RCD Socket combines practical electrical protection with a clean professional finish.
IP66 Weatherproof Protection
With the lid closed, the enclosure provides IP66 protection. The UV-resistant construction is also designed for locations where the accessory may be exposed to sunlight, while the lockable cover helps restrict unwanted access.
Flexible Cable Entry
The enclosure incorporates 8 x 20mm knockouts, providing installers with multiple cable entry options when positioning and wiring the socket.
Where Can the H-BWS132R Be Used?
The Niglon H-BWS132R IP66 13A RCD Socket is designed for suitable indoor and outdoor installations requiring a robust 2-gang socket with local 30mA Type A RCD protection. Its weatherproof construction and modern black finish make it particularly useful for visible external electrical installations.
