Is what size of grommet will I need to waterproof this?** A: I was dismayed to find that no grommets (O rings) were supplied with this socket as required by law to protect the electrics. I was unable to purchase grommets on Easter Sunday so had to use builder's silicone to waterproof the socket. An electrical shop should be able to advise you what size grommets are needed to fit the rear entry hole if you take the socket with you. **Q: Do i need a separate rcd for this** A: No but it is good working practice I think to install a 13 amp fused spare inside before you run cable through to the new unit outside if your connection is on a wall say 2 metres away I would use steal wired armoured cable hope this helps **Q: Can anyone tell me is this item white as the description says or is it grey and black ?** A: The sockets are white, the surrounds are grey and the cover is black. **Q: Would this be suitable for embedding in soil (power led xmas lights on garden trees)?** A: The waterproof external double electric socket would be ideal on a wooden post, which could be cemented into the ground; make sure the post is a good 24 inches out of the ground and treated...ideal for xmas lights and caravan or anything that takes your fancy really! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install colour coded *by A***R on 6 September 2026* Greta socket easy to install and well made ideal for charging my car would recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outdoor socket *by P***S on 1 June 2026* Great item. Reasonable price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good. But Not Suitable for Ev Charger Cable. *by P***Y on 2 February 2026* I purchased this as it is suitable for type 2 EV charging. Yes it does the job, however, the cable exit is in the bottom centre of the unit. The plug is not in the centre, it is off set to the left because of the switch. This is normal for all single outlets. This may be OK for standard 3 core cable but the thicker car charger cable does not allow the cover to be fully closed. If you push on the cover, it presses on the cable and levers the plug out of the socket sufficiently far to disconnect it from the supply. Mine is in a sheltered location and with the cover down, but not fully closed as I would prefer, is still usable. A larger cable outlet for EV cables would be better. ## Frequently Bought Together - BG Electrical Outdoor Single Switched Power Wall Plug Socket, Weatherproof, Suitable for EV Mode 2 Chargers, Nexus Storm, Grey, 13A, IP66 Rated, WP21 - Masterplug HDPT13B-MP Heavy Duty 13 Amp Rewireable Plug, 57.5 x 48 mm, Black - Heavy Duty Flexible Rubber Power Cable, 3 Core, 1.5mm² / 2.5mm², H07RN-F, Indoor/Outdoor Use - Various Lengths (3 Core, 2.5mm² (3G2.5), 3m) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/47929642-bg-electrical-outdoor-single-switched-power-wall-plug-socket-weatherproof](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/47929642-bg-electrical-outdoor-single-switched-power-wall-plug-socket-weatherproof) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
