Any pointers on the best place to get a 3P 16a IP44 4 pin socket with integrated RCD?

It seems that most places have 3P & N 5 pin now, online search seemed a bit fruitless other than dodgy eBay stuff!

Socket is for a heater and extension that doesn’t require a neutral, just thought it would look neater with it all in one box with an interlocked switch or is it just easier nowadays to put up a separate enclosure for the RCD and trunk a standard red wall socket out the bottom?

Didn’t really want to fit a 3p & N RCBO in the board due to room. Got 2 radials to go on the left, a 3 phase ramp on the right, this socket and it would be nice to leave 2 complete 3 phase circuits spare.

Should we just go for a 5 pin interlocked RCD and change the plug on the end of the heater?

I can’t see that Hagar do a 3 pole rcbo without using an add on and stealing another way.

£400 might be stretching the budget a bit, but thanks for looking.

I tried CEF and they said they only had IP67 not IP44 and they weren’t compatible, sorry if the dumbness is annoying but the last time I messed with 3 phase sockets they were made of metal and had brass plugs with securing rings!

Surely IP 67 would be better than IP44.
