If you think about how a ceeform is designed, so long as the glands are done properly and the shell/housing is intact then there's a fairly long way for water to have to travel before it gets anywhere near the pins.Thanks. I was looking at the Lewden horizontal type, and might just use IP44 but have some sort of raid shield for any really rough weather.
It is for occasional use with its own MCB/RCD so very long & reliable life is not critical, there will be a dual 13A outdoor socket in parallel that is likely to see more use.
It is not so much water getting in to the plug/socket in use that I was wondering about, more the long-term reliability of the socket/switch if water gets in to it.If you think about how a ceeform is designed, so long as the glands are done properly and the shell/housing is intact then there's a fairly long way for water to have to travel before it gets anywhere near the pins.
