I bought this to replace an existing socket that had been damaged. It was an upgrade on the old one with an RCD inbuilt. It is well built and easy to install. This would have got a five star rating apart from one small niggle, when the plug is in the socket it is difficult to close the cover and even harder to open it again. This is because the cable gripper is too full. I had to remove some of the rubber that grips the cable before I could open and close the cover. I was using three core cable for a water feature so maybe a thinner cable would not make it so difficult. That apart it is still a quality product.

Once it was installed to the wall it was sealed to the wall with clear silicon around the edges of the socket. When it was used a few days later after a bit of rain I noticed some water droplets on the face of the socket after I’d lifted the cover. Closer examination revealed that the rain had most likely got in through the hinges which are on top of the socket. This looks like a design fault. I have packed the hinge slots with grease so I would expect this to eliminate the problem but not yet checked.

May need some lubricant / silicon spray , to prevent the latches from sticking in the locked position. Other than that it is a real pleasure to have power in the garden. With hindsight, I would install it at waist height, where it would be easier to open and close.

Very easy to use. Covers included to maintain IP after fitting. Gaskets are effective, conduit access is in the right place. Terminals are secure with plenty of room for the cable. RCD trips before the main house one. Excellent product
