Timeguard TW1207DPN Weathersafe IP66 1 Gang 13A Switched Socket DP with Neon

Timeguard TW1207DPN Weathersafe IP66 Outdoor Socket

Provide convenient power in outdoor and demanding indoor locations with the Timeguard TW1207DPN Weathersafe 1 Gang 13A Switched Socket.

The unit combines a standard UK 13A socket outlet with a robust weather-resistant enclosure. Its IP66 rating provides complete protection against dust and resistance to powerful water jets when the socket is correctly installed, suitable cable entries are used and the hinged cover is properly closed.

The pre-fitted socket uses double-pole switching, disconnecting both the live and neutral conductors when switched off. A built-in neon indicator provides a clear visual indication of the socket’s switched status and remains visible through the translucent cover.

The enclosure is manufactured from impact-resistant grey polycarbonate for durability in gardens, garages, sheds, workshops and light-commercial environments. Its single latching clip allows convenient access, while integrated locking points enable an optional padlock to be fitted where restricted access is required.

Clear terminal markings, twin earth terminals, captive top-facing screws and generous cable lead-ins help support straightforward professional installation. Multiple drill-out cable-entry points are provided around the sides and rear of the enclosure, allowing the cable route to be selected to suit the installation.

Is the Timeguard TW1207DPN suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. It is designed for outdoor and demanding indoor environments and has an IP66-rated enclosure.

The stated protection depends on correct installation, properly sealed cable entries and the cover being fully closed.

What does IP66 mean?

IP66 means the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets when correctly installed and closed.

It does not mean the socket is suitable for permanent immersion or installation in a location that regularly floods.

Is the socket waterproof?

It is weather resistant rather than suitable for underwater use.

The enclosure is designed to resist rain, dust and powerful water jets, but it must not be submerged.

What does double-pole switching mean?

Double-pole switching disconnects both the live and neutral conductors when the socket is switched off.

This provides more complete isolation of the connected appliance than a single-pole switch.
