Review: Outside power for a very reasonable price - I was going to get an electritian to fit an outside socket, but then I saw this and decided to give it a try. An hour or so after opening the box, I had an outside socket! An electritian fitted socket would look a bit neater as the cables would be hidden, but it doesn't bother me as It is hidden on the inside by my dryer anyway. If you can hide the cable inside then this is well worth a look if you don't fancy paying the £50 call out and £80 an hour we were quoted by a couple of Electritians. I have an internal socket near where I wanted the external socket, so the 3m cable was perfect. If you need a longer run, then you can buy exterior grade flexible cable in 5-10m reels, or even more. The cable is 1.25mm2 twin and earth external grade flex, although if you need a longer run, you would be better off buying the parts seperately as it'll be cheaper. I also bought some cable bushings to make the cable entrance and exit looks neater on the wall. The 8mm internal diameter cable bushings are the perfect size for this cable for a super tight fit, so no water can get through. The bushings are for use with a 10mm drill bit, then they just push into the hole for a tight fit. I squirted a bit of clear silicone in the hole before inserting the cable with bushing and also drilled the hole with slight upward angle, so no water can track inside if it does get past the silicone. The socket comes with some little keyhole brackets on the back, but I think removing these and mounting the box straight to the wall with 4 screws is a better solution, That way it's nice and solid and wont unclip from the brackets. All in all I am very happy with the ease of fitting and quality of the product. I can't comment on durability, but it looks be be very high quality and should hopefully last a long time. No more putting extention leads through windows every time I mow the lawn! Review: Perfect kit - I bough this as I didn't have an outside socket and this pack price was a great deal. I drilled through from my garage (single brick wall) and fitted this on the outside. The socket box comes with 2 hanging hooks which I removed and opted for fitting the box directly to the wall for a more permanent installation. Make sure you have a long enough masonry drill! the one I used was just a bit too short so I had to measure and drill from the other side too to marry the holes up. The amount of wire you get it OK and was just enough for me to tack it tidily around the wall and up to my garage power socket to plug in. The RCD just wires on like a plug and plugs in - very easy. You can of course opt to buy an additional RCD spur and wire into that. I am happy with the plug in option as I don't want the outside socket live all the time. If you turn the plug on/off when you use it you will need to reset the RCD every time you turn it back on. I would definitely recommend this as a very quick and easy way to fit an outside socket yourself. ## Features - AN INCREDIBLY ROBUST AND HIGH IMPACT OUTDOOR DOUBLE POWER SOCKET: Temporary outdoor power solution, supplied with 3m cable pre-wired to the socket and RCD plug for safe electrical supply outdoors - WEATHERPROOF AND DUST PROOF RATING OF IP66: With LED power indicators and a clear cover which clips securely in place with large open/close paddles for ease of operation - RCD PROTECTION CUTS OFF POWER SAFELY AND PREVENTS ELECTROCUTION: In the event of a fault and with the latching operation means the unit returns to original state when power is resumed - EASY TO INSTALL: Designed for temporary installations, the polycarbonate mounting box has pre-fitted mounting brackets for wall mounting - TRUST IN THE BG ELECTRICAL WEATHERPROOF RANGE: As they are guaranteed against faulty materials and workmanship for 25 years – giving you total peace of mind ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004KL0A8W | | Amperage | 13 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | 22,804 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 193 in Wall Electrical Outlets | | Brand | British General | | Colour | Grey | | Compatible Devices | All devices | | Compatible devices | All devices | | Connectivity Technology | AC power cord | | Connector Type | type_g_3pin_uk | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,778 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 25 Years | | Included Components | On-Off Switch | | Item Dimensions L x W | 18L x 17W millimetres | | Item Type Name | Outdoor Socket | | Item Weight | 1.23 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Masterplug | | Manufacturer Part Number | WP22KIT/3 | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | WP22KIT/3-01 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product dimensions | 18L x 17W millimetres | | Total Power Outlets | 2 | | Voltage | 240 Volts | | Wattage | 3120 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** British General - **Colour:** Beige - **Compatible devices:** All devices - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 18L x 17W millimetres ## Images ![BG Electrical Double Weatherproof Outdoor Socket Kit with RCD Plug - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kqxQqQiHL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Cheeky one this but can see i can buy each part separate for cheaper, but wondered what diameter t&e cable i should buy, any ideas?** A: You need to connect the two if a short distance, using 1.5mm Flex. But bear in mind that the total load over the two sockets not exceed 13Amps or 3.0 kilowatts. If you plan to exceed this you should connect with 2.5mm. Hope this helps. **Q: Will the enclosure close when used with a transformer type plug?** A: No. There is only enough room for a standard size plug. **Q: Can it be supplied with 10M of cable?** A: This is only supplied with 3m cable, this could be changed by a qualified electrician **Q: Can the cover be locked to stop tampering** A: Yes, you can use a small padlock which would stop casual tampering, but the whole unit is made of plastic so it could be easily broken open if someone was determined. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outside power for a very reasonable price *by A***R on 24 July 2019* I was going to get an electritian to fit an outside socket, but then I saw this and decided to give it a try.

Seems a well-made piece of kit and was a breeze to install. I just used one of those long drill bits to drill a hole from my kitchen to the outside patio area, where the Masterplug was installed. The only fiddly bit was screwing the plug to the wall as it has two brackets on the back of the unit which need to be lined up with the screws in the wall. A bit awkward as you have to ensure the screws are spaced correctly. Although I thought I'd measured correctly (139mm) it was slightly off so it took a bit of fiddling to fix. One concern is that this time of fixture isn't as strong as screwing directly through the case, but we shall see. The fixture needs to be strong as the clips for securing the case are pretty stiff/tight. The power sockets themselves feature the standard on/off switch and also have a small red LED indicator when they are on; a handy visual check when remembering to turn them off. Overall seems good value, easy to fit. ## Frequently Bought Together - BG Electrical Outdoor Double Switched Wall Plug Socket Kit with RCD Plug and 3 Metres of Cable, Weatherproof, Nexus Storm, Grey, IP66 Rated, WP22KIT/3 - electrosmart Pack of 12 Single Feed-Thru Cable Wall Entry Grommets - 6x Black and 6x White - Suitable for most RG6 / WF100 Cable - AB Tools 3pc Long Masonry Drills For Bricks Blocks Concrete Carbide Tips 400mm 8-12mm --- ## 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.co.uk/products/47955343-bg-electrical-double-weatherproof-outdoor-socket-kit-with-rcd-plug](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47955343-bg-electrical-double-weatherproof-outdoor-socket-kit-with-rcd-plug) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
