Learn more by watching our Clipsal WS226/2-RG | Double Weatherproof Switch 16Amp IP66 video.
The Clipsal WS226/2-RG is a two-gang weatherproof switch rated 16A 250V, designed for external electrical applications including outdoor lighting, air conditioning isolators, and appliance control. The WS226/2-RG features impact-resistant construction with a co-injection gasket seal, meeting IP66 weatherproof protection and AS/NZS 3133 compliance.
Outdoor installations demand switches that withstand harsh conditions. Electricians often face failures and callbacks when standard indoor switches are exposed to weather, moisture, or UV radiation. The replacement cycle on inferior weatherproof options drives costly repeat site visits and frustration on both sides. A weatherproof switch that survives years of exposure without degradation reduces callbacks and builds customer confidence.
Licensed sparkies value the Clipsal WS226/2-RG for its IP66 sealed construction on high-traffic applications and outdoor control panels. The sliding-action mechanism delivers smooth, positive operation that hold up through repeated cycles. Two-gang configuration lets electricians run independent circuits from one compact mounting point, reducing installation time and panel congestion. The pre-drilled mounting holes speed up fixing, and side-entry conduit options accommodate vertical duct runs on the fly without re-plumbing the install.
The Clipsal WS226/2-RG is not rated for submersion or continuous spray exposure (only temporary spray under AS/NZS 3133). Do not install in pump-house sumps, water-feature enclosures, or locations subject to constant flooding. The switch is surface-mount only and cannot be adapted to flush concealed wall-box installation.
Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal WS226/2-RG (WS226/2-RG)

Yes. The WS226/2-RG is IP66 weatherproof rated and complies with AS/NZS 3133 for external electrical applications including outdoor lighting, air conditioning isolators, and industrial control panels. The chemical-resistant grey finish resists UV fade and salt corrosion on coastal installations.
The WS226-RG is a single-gang (one-switch) weatherproof 16A isolator, while the WS226/2-RG is a two-gang (double-switch) version allowing two independent 16A circuits from one mounting point. Choose the WS226/2-RG when two separate circuits are required on the same external panel location.
No. The WS226/2-RG is designed for surface mounting only and cannot be adapted to flush concealed installation. It is built as an external surface-mounted enclosure with integral gasket seals and cannot fit standard 16mm or 20mm depth cavity wall boxes.
Yes. Installation of the WS226/2-RG must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The switch connects to live 16A circuits and must comply with AS/NZS 3000 and local electrical codes. Unlicensed installation voids the warranty and creates safety risks.
The WS226/2-RG comes with a manufacturer's warranty from invoice date. Domestic use: 1 Year. Commercial use: 1 Year. Warranty is void if the switch is installed by unlicensed persons or used outside AS/NZS 3133 scope (submersion, continuous high-pressure spray). Clipsal handles claims directly via in-home warranty service.
