⚠️ Note: IP ratings and outlet standards vary by model and market; outdoor circuits typically require residual-current (RCD/GFCI) protection per local code, and installation must be done by a qualified electrician.

FAQ

What IP rating is needed outdoors?

It depends on exposure; sheltered outdoor use may accept a lower IP rating while direct rain or washdown areas need a higher rating such as IP65/IP66. Confirm per model and site.

Can a weatherproof socket be left uncovered?

The gasketed cover must be closed when not in use to maintain the sealed IP protection against water and dust.
