Review: Good quality. - Pleased with the item. Review: Good quality weatherproof outdoor socket, with aesthetically pleasing appearance. - I selected this BG weatherproof socket from reviews and also from the appearance. It was easy to install. I was using the rear cable entry cutout, which is marked out for a 20mm hole. As I wanted to do the best job possible to ensure it was water tight I purchased an MK grommet, which had a weatherproof rating, and was designed to accept twin & earth cable. This coupled with putting a generous amount of silicone sealant in the marked out channel, between the two raised concentric circles surrounding the cut-out, should achieve a good watertight seal. It would have been nice if one of these grommets had been supplied. Luckily I tracked down this MK grommet which dis the job perfectly, and was easy to obtain from some DIY outlets - although it did have to be ordered in for next day collection. So far no water ingress. Could be worth running a bead of silicone between the top and sides of the box to make really sure water doesn't get in. ## Features - Decorative Brushed Steel Finish - Weatherproof - IP66 rated - Tough & Durable Housing - Quick & Easy To Install (Angled Inline Terminals) - Blue LED Indicator Lights ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00I4QQU2Y | | Best Sellers Rank | 150,128 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 921 in Wall Electrical Outlets | | Brand | British General | | Colour | silver | | Compatible Devices | Television | | Compatible devices | Television | | Connector Type | BS 1363 13 A | | Connector type | BS 1363 13 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 135 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05050765044745 | | Included Components | Socket | | Item Weight | 0.54 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | BG Electrical | | Manufacturer Part Number | WPL22rcd | | Material | Steel | | Model Number | WPL22rcd | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Power plug type | No Plug | | Total Power Outlets | 2 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** British General - **Colour:** silver - **Compatible devices:** Television - **Material:** Steel - **Power plug type:** No Plug ## Images ![BG Electrical WPL22RCD IP66 Brushed Stainless Steel Outdoor Weatherproof Double RCD Socket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xAl0qHImL.jpg) ![BG Electrical WPL22RCD IP66 Brushed Stainless Steel Outdoor Weatherproof Double RCD Socket - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dlebd7R8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I want a black backed socket could anybody tell me if this socket has a black plastic back please. Cheers** A: Outer case is grey, front lid is black, inner equipment is white. **Q: Could someone tell me if the brushed stainless steel version has a black plastic back casing please, because I want to mount on my black shed, thanks** A: I bought the 'all plastic' version WP22RCD 13A 2 gang which is half the price of the brushed steel and it's excellent value for money. The front cover is black and you could always paint the back-box black to match your shed? **Q: Can someone confirm the dimensions of this socket as it says 2cmx2cmx2cm which can’t be correct ? Thanks** A: Approximately 175mm wide 160mm high 85mm deep **Q: Is this an active or passive rcd?** A: It is passive so there is a latching operation and the sockets return to original state when power resumed. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality. *by A***S on 14 August 2025* Pleased with the item. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality weatherproof outdoor socket, with aesthetically pleasing appearance. *by D***C on 11 September 2019* I selected this BG weatherproof socket from reviews and also from the appearance.

This was considerably cheaper than a like-for-like replacement. I must say it was a straight swap-in-swap out for the debut unit but looked must smarter than the original. ## Frequently Bought Together - BG Electrical WPL22RCD IP66 Brushed Stainless Steel Outdoor Weatherproof Double RCD Socket - Masterplug HDPT13B-MP Heavy Duty 13 Amp Rewireable Plug, 57.5 x 48 mm, Black - BG Electrical WP22RCD-01 Double Weatherproof Outdoor Switched Power Socket with Latching RCD, IP66 Rated, 13 Amp --- ## 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.us/products/50257037-bg-electrical-wpl22rcd-ip66-brushed-stainless-steel-outdoor-weatherproof-double](https://www.desertcart.us/products/50257037-bg-electrical-wpl22rcd-ip66-brushed-stainless-steel-outdoor-weatherproof-double) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
