Built for Australian Site Conditions

The 56 Series is a proven workhorse across Australian industry, trusted on job sites where reliability isn't negotiable. The IP66 rating seals out dust and high-pressure water, making this socket suited to outdoor, washdown and exposed installations where a standard GPO simply won't survive. Whether it's mounted on a shed wall, a plant room, or an exposed external surface, the sealed enclosure keeps the connection protected year-round.

Chemical Resistant Enclosure

The chemical resistant orange (RO) housing is engineered to withstand contact with aggressive substances that would degrade a standard enclosure over time. This makes it a sound choice for environments where cleaning agents, oils or other chemicals are part of daily operation. The high-visibility orange finish also aids quick identification on busy sites, helping crews locate the outlet at a glance.

Simple, Secure Termination

Termination is straightforward. The screw terminals accept 1.5–6 mm² rigid or stranded cable, and the gland accommodates cable from 7 to 16 mm outer diameter — giving electricians real flexibility across a range of installs. Brass contact screws and an ABS body keep the unit robust through repeated use.
