Click Essentials Metal Clad 13A 2 Gang Unswitched Socket Outlet – Grey with White Inserts | CL032

Heavy-Duty Twin Unswitched Socket with 40mm Metal Back Box

The Click Essentials CL032 13A 2 Gang Unswitched Socket Outlet is a robust, practical electrical accessory designed for demanding domestic, commercial and light industrial environments.

Manufactured by Click Scolmore, this heavy-duty twin socket features a durable grey metal-clad faceplate with contrasting white socket inserts, making it an excellent choice for garages, workshops, utility rooms, warehouses and other areas where a more substantial electrical accessory is preferred.

Part of the Click Essentials Metal Clad range, the CL032 combines a tough steel construction with reliable everyday functionality.

The socket features two 13A unswitched outlets, providing convenient plug-in connections for compatible electrical equipment without individual rocker switches.

Its unswitched design is particularly useful where straightforward access to a permanent socket supply is required, subject to the electrical installation's circuit design and isolation arrangements.

The CL032 is supplied complete with a 40mm deep metal surface mounting box, eliminating the need to purchase a separate matching back box for a standard surface-mounted installation.

Both the front plate and mounting box feature an electrophoretically coated steel construction, providing a durable grey finish suited to practical working environments.

For professional installation, the CL032 incorporates twin earth terminals, screw terminals and multiple 20mm cable-entry knockouts in the supplied mounting box.

Rated at 13A and 250V AC, the socket is designed for use with standard UK three-pin plugs and suitable fixed wiring installations.

Whether fitting out a new workshop, upgrading garage electrics or installing additional sockets in a commercial property, the Click Essentials CL032 Metal Clad Twin Unswitched Socket provides a reliable and cost-effective solution.

Heavy-Duty Grey Metal Clad Construction

The Click Essentials CL032 is designed for installations where a robust electrical accessory is preferred over a standard decorative plastic socket.

Its metal-clad construction makes it particularly suitable for garages, workshops, warehouses and commercial utility areas.

Both the faceplate and supplied mounting box are manufactured from steel with an electrophoretic coating.

This provides a durable finish intended to withstand the demands of everyday use in suitable indoor environments.

Benefits of Metal Clad Construction

• Strong steel faceplate
• Durable surface mounting box
• Practical for working environments
• Suitable for commercial electrical installations
• Robust alternative to standard plastic accessories
• Coordinated grey finish
• Designed for long-term everyday use

The contrasting white socket inserts provide a clear, familiar appearance against the grey metal faceplate.

Please note: Although metal clad, the CL032 is not waterproof or intended for exposed outdoor use.

Two Convenient 13A Unswitched Socket Outlets

The Click CL032 provides two standard UK socket outlets in a single 2-gang accessory.

Each outlet is designed for compatible BS 1363 plugs.

Unlike a switched socket, the CL032 does not have individual on/off rocker switches.

This makes it suitable for installations where a simple unswitched socket arrangement is required.

Benefits of a 2 Gang Unswitched Socket

• Two plug-in outlets in one accessory
• No individual socket switches
• Straightforward operation
• Suitable for compatible electrical equipment
• Convenient for workshops and utility areas
• Practical for commercial installations
• Ideal for replacing an existing compatible unswitched socket

The socket is rated at 13A, 250V AC.

Important: The 13A rating does not mean that two connected appliances may each draw 13A simultaneously regardless of the circuit. The permissible load depends on the socket rating, circuit design, protective device and installation conditions.

Supplied Complete with 40mm Metal Back Box

A key advantage of the Click Essentials CL032 is that it comes complete with a matching 40mm deep metal surface mounting box.

This makes it a convenient choice for surface-mounted installations where cables are run in suitable conduit or surface wiring systems.

Benefits of the Included Back Box

• Matching grey metal-clad finish
• No separate standard mounting box required
• Designed for surface installation
• Suitable for garage and workshop wiring
• Multiple cable-entry options
• Provides space for appropriate cable terminations
• Coordinates with the socket faceplate

The supplied mounting box includes seven 20mm knockouts for cable entry.

These allow the installer to select an appropriate cable route and fit suitable conduit connections or cable-entry accessories.

Unused openings should remain closed, and all cable entries must be appropriately protected.

Twin Earth Terminals for Professional Wiring

The Click CL032 incorporates twin earth terminals, supporting the termination of protective conductors in suitable electrical installations.

This feature is particularly useful where multiple circuit protective conductors require termination.

Installation Benefits

• Twin earth terminals
• Suitable for appropriately designed fixed wiring circuits
• Screw terminal connections
• Brass terminal construction
• Practical for professional electricians
• Supports reliable protective conductor connections

The supplied metal mounting box also incorporates an earth terminal.

Important: The metal faceplate and back box must be correctly earthed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and current wiring regulations.

Electrophoretically Coated Steel Finish

The front plate and back box of the Click Essentials CL032 feature an electrophoretically coated finish.

This coating provides a consistent grey appearance and helps protect the steel components during normal use.

Benefits of the Coated Finish

• Durable grey surface
• Practical for workshops and garages
• Coordinated faceplate and back box
• Suitable for commercial utility areas
• Professional industrial-style appearance
• Easy to coordinate with other metal-clad accessories

For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth and follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
