## Questions & Answers

**Q: can it use washing machine**
A: I'm not sure what you're asking.  You can plug a washing machine into the socket and the washing machine will work ok if the socket is connected to a 240vac supply.  The socket is for out door use and must be used in conjunction with a 30mA RCD for safety.  You would not use a washing machine out doors in the open.   Do not put the socket in a washing machine.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Will the unit take large transformer plugs and still close?**
A: Good evening to you Miss Challen. In answer to your question about fitting transformers into this electrical unit, unfortunately not the lid will not close. SORRY.What I have done is to purchase a large waterproof blank junction box and fitted it to a wooden post, fit an electrical extension lead depending on length and then you can plug in your transformer inside the junction box. Just remember to drill a couple of drain holes on the underside to let air in and condensation out, then just run your extension lead through to your 2 gang box. Hope I have not confused you to much. Cheers Keith.

**Q: unit is indicating fused? is this repairable?**
A: The socket is not fused. You will have a fuse in the device plugged in to the socket. For protection it is recommended you connect this back to your consumer unit with MCB and RCD protection.You can also get a BG WP22RCD this is a double socket with built-in RCD protection in the same size unit as a BG WP22.

**Q: Hi what sort of 3 core cable would i need to run outside As im going throw a conservrity under decking back up throw the decking and fixed to a wall?**
A: Should be 4mm SWA cable. Rats take a liking to electrical cable under decking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Build Quality and Easy to Fit!
*by A***Y on 20 May 2025*

I recently purchased the BG Electrical Outdoor Double Switched Power Wall Plug Socket and I couldn’t be happier with this product! Right out of the box, the socket’s robust build and sleek grey design impressed me. It feels incredibly sturdy, and the high-quality materials give me confidence that it’s built to last in tough outdoor conditions. I installed it in my garden to power outdoor lighting and tools, and it’s been an absolute game-changer. The IP66 weatherproof rating is no exaggeration—this socket has withstood heavy rain and windy days without a hitch. The double switched outlets are super convenient, allowing me to control two devices independently, and the secure, easy-to-open cover keeps everything protected when not in use. The installation was straightforward, with clear instructions and all necessary fittings included, making it a breeze even for someone with basic DIY skills like me. The 13A capacity handles my high-powered tools effortlessly, and the overall design blends seamlessly with my outdoor setup. I was so pleased with this socket that I bought a second one for my patio to power additional outdoor equipment! The delivery was fast, and the packaging was secure, ensuring both products arrived in perfect condition. For the price, this socket offers exceptional value, combining durability, functionality, and a professional look. I’ve already recommended it to neighbors who were impressed by its performance. Five stars for this fantastic outdoor socket—I’m thrilled with my purchases and will definitely consider more BG Electrical products in the future!
