        Clipsal | Double Weatherproof Switch 16Amp 250V | Chemical Resistant Grey

        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.

        Features

        • IP66 weatherproof rating — fully sealed against spray and temporary immersion, suitable for outdoor, damp, and high-pressure wash-down environments.
        • Impact-resistant polycarbonate base and cover — withstands physical knocks common on jobsites and external installations without cracking or deforming.
        • Co-injection gasket seal — dual-material gasket design locks moisture and dust out across the two sections, preventing ingress at the critical seam.
        • Two-gang independent switch design — WS226/2-RG allows two separate 16A circuits to be controlled from a single mounting point, reducing panel congestion and install footprint.
        • Sliding-action mechanism — positive detent action provides tactile feedback and confident engagement, with no creep or accidental actuation during operation.
        • Pre-drilled mounting holes — fits standard M4 screw spacing, allowing rapid installation without on-site drilling and pilot-hole marking.
        • Compact M80 motor rating — supports standard motor control circuits and outdoor air conditioning isolators without de-rating.
        • AS/NZS 3133 and IEC 60669-1 compliance — certified to Australian electrical and international switch safety standards, approved for domestic and commercial use.
        • Surface mounting only — the WS226/2-RG is designed for external surface installation; not suitable for flush concealed wall boxes or recessed applications.
        • Chemical-resistant grey finish — powder-coated polyester resists fading, salt corrosion, and UV degradation, holding colour on marine and coastal installations.
        • Side-entry conduit design — provides ample conduit entries and suits vertical duct runs, common in industrial panel builds and outdoor equipment housing.

        Where to use

        • Outdoor lighting circuits — the WS226/2-RG is rated for controlling 16A lighting loads on external walls, pergolas, gardens, and architectural lighting where sealed protection is essential.
        • Air conditioning isolators and controllers — common application for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners, where the switch isolates or controls the external condenser unit separately.
        • Industrial and commercial control panels — two-gang configuration suits equipment isolators, motor starters, and pump controls in outdoor switchboards and distribution boxes.
        • High-moisture areas — kitchens with overhead exhaust fans, pool-house changing rooms, and carwash equipment all benefit from sealed IP66 construction and gasket integrity.
        • Wet-area appliance control — controls hot-water service isolators, zone control dampers, and outdoor heating elements where splash and humidity are constant.
        • Coastal and marine installations — chemical-resistant grey finish resists salt corrosion and UV fade on exposed coastal properties and marine equipment.
        • Retrofit and replacement work — upgrades from failed indoor switches on existing outdoor installations, eliminating callback cycles and improving system longevity.

        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)

        "Great deal and great product." — EricS

        "Great quality, good value." — DB

        "Work a treat" — Adam

        (WS226-2RG)

        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.

        The Clipsal WS226/2-RG 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.
