WP24-01 double outdoor socket, IP66 13A
Product description
Outdoor electrics need protection as much as they need power, and the BG Electrical WP24-01 double outdoor weatherproof unswitched socket is built for that job. With an IP66 rating for dust tight and weatherproof performance, it helps you keep a constant supply outdoors where splash, rain, and grit can be part of day to day life. 🌧️
If you have appliances that should not be interrupted, an unswitched outdoor socket is a practical choice. This model from BG Electrical Nexus at Luceco is designed for straightforward installation and secure connections, using clearly marked terminals and captive screws for confident wiring.
Key points
This double outdoor socket is designed to stay usable outdoors thanks to its IP66 weatherproof and dust proof rating. An unswitched outlet is useful when you want your connected appliance to receive continuous power, without relying on a manual switch being turned on or off. The housing includes covers that help seal the fixing screws, which adds protection where the socket is mounted.
It is also built around easy install planning. Cable entries are provided on all four sides, and each entry has removable blanking caps, which helps you prepare for the route you choose. Once fitted, the clearly marked terminals and captive screws are there to support neat, secure connections. You can treat it as part of a durable outdoor electrics setup rather than a temporary solution.
A further reason to consider it is the reliability approach taken across the Nexus weatherproof range. According to the manufacturer, the product comes with a 25 year guarantee against faulty materials and workmanship, which is reassuring when you are improving outdoor safety and long term usability. 🙂

What stands out
The key difference with this socket is the combination of an unswitched supply and strong weather protection. If your outdoor equipment relies on steady power, you avoid the risk of accidentally switching it off. The IP66 rating matters when your wiring and connections need guarding against wind driven rain and dust, which is common around garages, patios, and outdoor utility areas. 🧰
The design also helps during installation. The covers for sealing the fixing screws reduce exposure at the mounting points, while the removable blanking caps on the four sides make it easier to match the entry route to your cable run. You still get clear terminal markings, which supports faster, more confident wiring even when you are working in tighter outdoor positions. 🙂
Finally, the Nexus weatherproof approach focuses on long term dependability. The stated 25 year guarantee against faulty materials and workmanship gives you peace of mind when you want outdoor electrics that stay in place and keep performing.
Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you need a double outdoor unswitched socket to provide constant power to an appliance outdoors, and you want IP66 level weatherproofing and dust protection. It makes sense if you are planning an outdoor installation where you prefer to choose your cable entry position using the four sided blanking caps. You may also like it if you value a structured, install friendly design with clearly marked terminals and captive screws.
It might not suit you if you specifically want a switched outdoor socket for controlling connected equipment from a local switch. You may want to skip it if your installation requirements demand different ratings or a different socket type than an unswitched outlet with 13 Amp and 250 Volt capability.
