Dexton - Powerpoints, Switches & Weatherproof Wiring Accessories

Quick Q&A — click to expand

Is Dexton an Australian brand? +

Yes. Dexton (Dexton Group Pty Ltd) is an Australian supplier of electrical wiring accessories — powerpoints, switches, weatherproof outlets, mounting blocks, junction boxes and data/TV/telephone plates designed for the Australian market and standard AU gang sizing.

Are Dexton powerpoints and switches compliant with Australian standards? +

Dexton's standard powerpoints are 10A 250V GPOs built for Australian wiring. As with any wiring accessory, installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000. If you need the approval or rating detail for a specific catalogue number, call the counter and we'll confirm it before you buy.

Do you stock Dexton weatherproof points for outdoor use? +

Yes — Dexton weatherproof double power points (such as the DXWP2) are a popular line for exterior GPOs, pool and pump points, air-con isolator feeds and outdoor entertainment areas. They ship with the weatherproof cover and seal. Stock moves quickly, so call ahead for larger quantities.

Will Dexton plates and mounting blocks fit standard wall boxes? +

Dexton uses standard Australian gang dimensions, so cover plates, grid plates and mounting blocks line up with the usual single/double gang layouts. Mounting blocks come in shallow, standard, high (34mm) and quad depths to suit surface-mount installs where there's no cavity. If you're matching to existing accessories on site, bring the old plate in or send us a photo.

Why electricians buy Dexton

Dexton sits in the value tier of wiring accessories — the line you fit when the job needs a sound, compliant powerpoint or switch without the premium-brand price tag. Two things keep it on the van:

• Sharp trade pricing — on a fit-out with dozens of GPOs and switches, the per-point saving over premium ranges adds up fast across the whole job.
• Broad, practical range — standard gang sizing and a full set of plates, blocks and weatherproof options means you can do most of a domestic rough-in and fit-off from the one brand.
