RR 13A Double Socket

Key specs: 13 A, 220 V, 60 Hz; IP rating IP30; flame-retardant thermoplastic body; single terminal earthing; brass screw terminals for reliable wiring; child-proof shutter for added safety; easy access to terminals for quick wiring connections.

BS 546 compatibility means the socket is designed to accept BS 546 plug pins (including 13A and 15A sizes). This ensures compatibility with classic British plugs commonly used in many properties.

IP30 means the socket is protected against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm but has no protection against water. It is intended for indoor use in dry environments, not exposed to moisture or rain.

A single terminal earthing design provides one dedicated earth connection for safety. It helps ensure proper grounding of connected appliances, reducing the risk of electric shock and equipment damage when used correctly.

General steps: (1) switch off the main power, (2) mount the socket base to the wall and align with the wall plate, (3) connect live (L) and neutral (N) wires to the brass screw terminals, (4) connect the earth wire to the earth terminal, (5) secure connections, (6) fit the faceplate and restore power. The product design with brass terminals supports quick wiring, and the unit is intended for indoor installation in dry locations.

The RR 13A Socket includes an accessible reset button to reset the circuit in the event of a surge or overload. If you experience an overload, switch off power, press the reset button to restore normal operation, and then switch power back on. Do not rely on the reset button as a substitute for proper circuit protection; ensure your wiring and breakers are appropriate for the load.

Install indoors in dry, protected walls such as living rooms, bedrooms, offices, or commercial spaces. Avoid areas exposed to moisture, direct water contact, or extreme heat. Ensure it is mounted in a suitable enclosure and complies with local electrical codes.

If you’re evaluating alternatives on Fepy, you can compare the RR 13A Socket with:

- BS 1363 13A Socket: https://fepy.com/product/bs-1363-13a-socket - BS 546 5A Socket: https://fepy.com/product/bs-546-5a-socket - BS 1363 15A Socket: https://fepy.com/product/bs-1363-15a-socket

Consider the plug types you use (BS 546 is older and common in some regions), the desired current rating (13A vs 15A), the wiring method (single earth vs multiple terminals), and indoor vs protected installation requirements. Also check material durability, IP rating, and whether child-safety shutters are included.

Ask about compatibility with your existing plugs (BS 546 vs BS 1363), whether the outlet supports your appliance loads, the ease of installation, presence of safety features (child-proof shutters, reset button), the IP rating for indoor use, and the return policy if the product doesn’t meet your needs.

Yes. The RR 13A Socket uses flame-retardant thermoplastic and is designed for indoor use with IP30 protection. It supports a single earth connection and provides a child-proof shutter. Always follow local electrical codes, have power disconnected during installation, and consider professional installation if you’re not qualified.
