Lewis CaliburnBG has launched an IP66-rated single socket housed in a high impact weatherproof casing, designed for domestic installation for Mode 2 Electrical Vehicle (EV) charging certified to BS1363/EV.
The new product is ideal for households where an EV charger set up is not a suitable or viable option. The socket is also suitable for other domestic outdoor power needs.
The manufacturer claims that this go-to alternative for domestic EV charging is unmatched in its class for durability, ease of installation and safety, certified to BS1363/EV.
Durable and Weatherproof With Great Safety Features
The IP66 rating guarantees protection against water and dust ingress in the most arduous of conditions, making the product perfect for external use.
The socket has been rigorously tested to endure the prolonged high-load conditions typical of Mode 2 charging, making it ideal for UK 3-Pin to Mode 2 EV Charging.
Additionally, the socket meets high product quality standards, achieving the ASTA approval mark—a recognised symbol of quality and reliability.
End User Satisfaction
From the end user perspective, this weatherproof single socket features a large open/close paddle for ease of access or to lock the cover in place, with a patented cable entry to prevent accidental opening. It is perfect for use in gardens, patios, sheds, outhouses, and garages. There is also 150° rotation for added convenience.
Easy To Install
The weatherproof casing has integrated fast fix screws and multiple drill out entry points (one at the rear and one on each side) for ease of installation. There are multiple knockouts accommodating 5 x 20mm fittings.
No separate screws or screw covers are needed, and the installer can choose the most convenient entry point without the need for drilling or modifying the socket, even in tight, awkward spaces.
