Learn more by watching our NLS 30086 | Single Weatherproof Switch 20A Double Pole (IP66 Rated) video.
The NLS 30086 is a single-gang weatherproof switch rated 20A double pole, housed in an IP66 sealed enclosure for outdoor and exposed installations. The 30086 switches both active and neutral conductors at once, which suits it to transportable structures such as caravans and motor homes where double-pole isolation is required. Its UV-stabilised housing carries a 250V AC 50Hz rating and a lockable handle for safe isolation.
Outdoor isolation points take a beating from sun, rain, and dust, and a standard indoor switch will not last long on an exposed wall. The 30086 seals to IP66, blocking dust ingress and heavy water spray, while the UV-stabilised housing resists fading and embrittlement in full sun. Installers often mount it against corrugated cladding to finish the outside of a shed or pump housing tidily. Multiple conduit entries through the sides and rear let the switch land square no matter how the cable run approaches.
For sparkies running outdoor power, the 30086 is a low-cost isolation point that holds up where it counts. It is a common shelf item that many electricians reorder by the box, since one weatherproof switch covers air conditioners, pumps, and shed sub-circuits across domestic and light commercial work. The lockable handle takes an 8mm padlock pole in the off position, so it doubles as a lock-off isolator for safe maintenance. At this price point it carries solid margin on a quote without pushing the job cost up.
The 30086 is a switching and isolation device only and provides no circuit protection, so it does not replace a breaker, RCD, or RCBO on the circuit. It is rated to 20 amps maximum and should not be used to switch heavier loads. While sealed to IP66, it is not rated for submersion and must not be installed where it sits underwater.

Installation of the 30086 must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The switch wires into an outdoor circuit through plain conduit entries on the sides and rear of the base, sized at three 20mm and four 25mm entries to suit most conduit runs.
A double-pole switch breaks both the active and neutral conductors at once, while a single-pole switch breaks only the active. The 30086 is double pole, which is required in Australia for caravans, motor homes, and other transportable structures connected to a site supply.
The 30086 works as a weatherproof isolator for split-system air conditioners, pumps, and similar outdoor equipment rated up to 20 amps. The IP66 enclosure and UV-stabilised housing suit it to the exposed wall position next to a condenser unit.
IP66 means the enclosure is fully protected against dust and resists strong jets of water from any direction. This makes the switch suitable for outdoor walls, sheds, and other exposed locations, though it is not rated for submersion under water.
The housing is UV-stabilised and made from high-impact material, so it resists fading, brittleness, and cracking under long-term sun exposure. The plastic body is also corrosion-free, which helps in coastal and damp locations where metal enclosures can rust.
The switch accepts an 8mm padlock pole through its handle in the off position, allowing it to be locked out during service or maintenance work. The large rotary handle is easy to operate by hand, even with gloves on.
The 30086 carries a one-year warranty for both domestic and commercial use, starting from the invoice date. Claims are handled on a return-to-Sparky Direct basis. The warranty is void if the product is not installed by a licensed electrician.
The NLS 30086 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
