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: Great and Multi-Use - I used this as a stand in for my fridge freezer whilst i waited for a wired socket to be installed due to the RCD on it. It was solid, easy to install, efficient and my fridge ran fine on it. I've now taken it out as I have a wired plug and i'm going to install it outside as intended so I have electricity outside. I'll update my review in the summer but i expect this perform well enough.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok for the price
*by T***S on 29 August 2025*

This is the second socket I've bought from Amazon. The first was returned because it was impossible to open & close even for a lug like me. You'd have risked breaking it. This one from BG is better in that way but still nothing like as easy to close as say a Hamilton brand socket. Whether you're plugging in a 13 amp heavy duty rubber HO7RN-F cable or a bit of lamp flex it closes with the same difficulty - which is comical but at least it can accommodate the heavy cable! It seems water proof - I've checked it after two rain storms & it was dry inside. The model I chose comes connected to 13 amp flex & fused RCD plug, the idea being you can go through an outside wall & then attach the RCD, plugging it into a 13 amp outlet in the house. This is very handy because otherwise, if you're attaching a socket via a spur you're going to need an FCU on it (regulations, regulations) AND because it's an outside socket it'll need an RCD too. Since 2005 only a sparky is supposed to fit those & certify the work. But this is a ready made item - & it has the fused non- latching RCD which is great. The socket comes on two mounting brackets for the outside wall. Er, no. I tried them & it was ridiculous - the socket often detached from the wall when I was latching or unlatching it. Plus it hangs off the wall looking very amateurish indeed. Fortunately if you read the instructions it does say you can remove the brackets & using the holes they're attached to, mount the socket onto the wall permanently in the usual way. That is easy to do & works perfectly. The socket itself seems fine, it's enclosure seems adequately strong. A tiny dab of grease on the closures makes them easier to use.
