Garden post essential with double socket outlet 16 AX/250 Vac, side earthing

This article will be available as from April 2025. This article is still in development. The technical specifications could be subject to change. Currently missing technical documents will be added to this page as soon as they are ready.

The garden post essential includes two horizontal prewired socket outlets (16 A/250 Vac) with side earthing, shutters, plug-in terminals and two inputs. It has an IP55 protection degree and is equipped with a spike that needs to be driven directly into the earth. Its functional design makes the garden post a perfect fit for outdoor applications that require two angled plugs and outdoor areas, such as gardens and flower beds. Moreover, the entire unit is splashproof, which makes it extremely well-suited for use in damp areas and demanding environments.

For larger gardens or installations with multiple garden posts, the garden post essential offers the ability to safely establish a connection to other power points. The garden post comes with two cable glands on the underside, which ensure that the cables are securely attached.

The adjustable cable glands are suitable for cables with a diameter between 4 mm and 15 mm. Thicker ground cables will also fit in the multi-layer cable glands with no issues.

Are you not going to establish a connection, so you only need one cable gland? The rubber layers of the multi-layer cable gland fully close off the slot. This means internal components remain protected against moisture, dirt and insects.
