MPN: GW66449
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66449 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66449 is a high-performance 16A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB Compact Range. This model is designed for specialized three-phase 230V systems (without neutral), indicated by its Blue colour-coding and 3P+E (4-pin) configuration.
Unlike standard industrial outlets, the GW66449 features an IP55 rating, providing a superior watertight seal against dust and low-pressure water jets. As part of the "With Bottom" series, it is supplied with its own back-mounting box, making it a complete, ready-to-install surface mounting solution. The integrated mechanical interlock ensures that power is only supplied when a plug is fully inserted, protecting users in demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a standard UK 3-pin blue socket?
No. Standard UK 230V industrial sockets are 3-pin (2P+E). The GW66449 is a 4-pin (3P+E) model for specific three-phase 230V applications. Please check your plug pin count before purchase.
What does the '9h' clock position mean?
The '9h' refers to the position of the earth pin. For 230V three-phase (Blue) 4-pin sockets, the earth is at the 9 o'clock position to prevent accidental connection with other voltages or phases.
Is the mounting box included?
Yes, this model is a "with bottom" version and includes the integrated back box for surface mounting.
Can I use this in a wash-down area?
Yes, the IP55 rating makes it suitable for areas that are cleaned with low-pressure water hoses or subject to significant dust.
