METALCLAD PLUS™
RANGE INTRODUCTION
All MK products are made to stand up to
the wear and tear of everyday use, but in
some areas you need them to be even
tougher. That’s why the Metalclad Plus™
range of surface mounted accessories is
ideal for factories, workshops, garages
and sheds.
Made from heavy gauge steel they’re tough and impact resistant
and they look good too. There is a wide selection of surface
mounted products in the range including switchsockets with
outboard rockers and light switches with wide rockers, both very
useful when wearing gloves. An RCD protected socket is also
available which is essential when operating power tools.
Echo™ is an innovative range of entirely wireless, batteryless and
self powered switches and in finishes to complement the
Metalclad Plus ™ range. Please see page 21 for details.
