When the requirement is to provide a safe electrical connection in places where public access has to be maintained, Aqua-safe waterproof connectors from Elkay Electrical offer an operationally proven solution.
Temporary or even permanent electrical connections in demanding outdoor applications necessitate a safe, reliable means to make an effective connection.
Where this is required there is no better solution than the operationally proven Aqua-safe waterproof connectors from Elkay Electrical. Designed as either in-line or bulkhead versions the units are both versatile and highly reliable with a positive, safe and convenient operational capability.
The requirement for safety around public places is paramount, however, as for many councils and shopping centres utilising temporary electrical supplies is an ongoing requirement with displays, external exhibitions, signage, decorative lighting and traffic signals all being a requirement throughout the year.
Use of Aqua-safe connectors comes into its own and affords a safe and convenient means of access for ease of service and maintenance to ensure the lighting system remains in perfect operational condition. Used on outdoor lighting applications throughout the country for many years Aqua-safe now benefits from an increase in the range of sizes available bringing with it the ability to handle increased loads up to 16 Amps.
Contractors working on lighting for Councils often use such connectors to supply both temporary and permanent power providing a suitable quick and extremely reliable connection system. Aqua-safe waterproof connectors are ideal for all applications where power has to be carried through wet areas or in areas exposed to adverse weather conditions.
They find extensive use in water features, as they are submersible in operation supplying power to feature lighting displays. On Aqua-safe an active latch mechanism accesses the inner connectors for quicker wiring and a highly reliable click latch system replaces the conventional approach of screwing two halves together.
This not only makes assembly quicker, cutting down on 'on the job' time, but the 'O' ring seal affords IP68 protection at 2 bar making the system waterproof to a depth of 20 metres. In effect, what this means is that it is both an easy and cost-effective means to provide a safe, electrical connection for either temporary or permanent systems.
