• Workshops & Garages: Provides robust power outlets for multiple power tools and battery chargers.
• Commercial Offices: The standard for providing power at workstations and in common areas.

Tips

• Requires a 4x4 Wall Box: It is crucial to note that this socket requires a square 4x4 (100x100mm) wall box for installation. It will not fit in a standard rectangular 4x2 box.
• Plug Compatibility: Both sockets are designed for the large, triangular 3-pin SANS 164-1 plug. They are not compatible with the new compact SANS 164-2 plugs ("New ZA"), Schuko, or Euro plugs.
• Wiring: An electrician will typically run a single set of supply wires (Live, Neutral, Earth) to the unit and bridge them across the terminals of both sockets to provide power to each.
• Safety First: Always ensure that the power supply to the circuit is completely turned off at the main distribution board before starting any installation work.
• Achieve a Perfect Finish: A spirit level is essential during installation to ensure the 4x4 socket is mounted perfectly level. Any slight angle will be highly noticeable on a socket of this size.
