The increasing requirement to provide safe, electrical connections in the garden and around the home can easily be met by Aqua-safe connectors from Elkay Electrical.

Making a safe electrical connection in the garden with Aqua-safe

Today, the requirement covers a great range of products, including lighting, garden heaters, pumps for water features, all the way up to hot tubs and swimming pools. Whether the need is for 240 volt AV or 12 volt DC supply, Aqua-safe has either in-line or bulkhead connectors to suit individual installations. Aqua-safe connectors are ideal where power has to be carried safely outside through wet areas or where the connector is exposed to adverse weather conditions. In use, the connector is extremely convenient when used to supply power to devices such as garden heaters, water pumps, lighting, and indeed any device requiring electrical power. When the device needs servicing or if it has to be brought indoors during the winter months it is simply unplugged from the connector. The exposed connector housing can be effectively sealed using the appropriate dedicated sealing cap, sealing it from any water or dirt. Typically fitted to water pumps they allow the ease of removal and maintenance of water pumps with a simple yet effective connection. In lighting installations, both above and below water, the connectors maintain system integrity. 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 makes the system waterproof to a depth of 20 metres.
