Built for the Outdoors

An IP53 rating means the WPGPO1-15 is protected against dust and against water falling as spray, making it suited to sheltered outdoor and damp locations such as patios, carports, sheds and external walls. The sealed cover keeps the socket protected when not in use, while the rugged housing handles knocks and weather. For sites needing a higher ingress rating or full hose-down protection, a higher-IP outlet should be specified.

15A for Larger Loads

The 15A rating, with its wider earth pin, accepts 15A plugs used on higher-draw equipment such as caravans, air compressors, welders and large portable appliances. The WPGPO1-15 uses large terminals for straightforward connection of the active, neutral and earth conductors, and is built from PCA18 virgin-grade plastic with 316 stainless steel springs and screws and high-copper brass internals for long service life.

Q: What is the difference between the WPGPO1-15 and the 10A WPGPO1?
A: The current rating. The WPGPO1-15 is rated 15A with a wider earth pin to accept 15A plugs and larger appliances, while the WPGPO1 is rated 10A. Both are IP53 weatherproof single outlets.

Q: What does the IP53 rating mean?
A: It means the outlet is protected against dust and against water falling as spray, suiting sheltered outdoor and damp areas. It is not rated for high-pressure water or full immersion.

Q: What can I plug into the WPGPO1-15?
A: Appliances fitted with a 15A plug, such as caravans, compressors and welders. A standard 10A plug also fits a 15A socket, but a 15A plug will not fit a 10A socket.
