This Narva Heavy-Duty Surface Mount Accessory Socket adds a solid 12 volt or 24 volt outlet to your rig so you can run fridges lights or chargers off a rated 20A at 12V or 10A at 24V. You can bolt it to a flat surface in the tub canopy or cab and keep cables tidy instead of dangling from the dash. It takes standard accessory plugs so your existing 12 volt gear drops straight in. Narva builds this socket in a surface mount housing that protects the contacts while still keeping the unit compact on the panel. The current rating of 20A at 12V gives plenty of headroom for typical touring gear without stressing the wiring. A two-wire hookup into a fused circuit keeps the setup straightforward for auto sparkies and experienced DIYers. For anyone setting up a touring or work vehicle this is a smart buy that just works.

Q: Can this Narva surface mount accessory socket be used on both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes, it is rated for 12V and 24V use. The socket carries up to 20A on a 12V circuit and 10A on a 24V circuit. That covers most common touring loads like fridges and work lights. You still need to match your fuse size and cable gauge to the current draw. An auto electrician can confirm the right wiring for your setup.

Q: Is this socket suitable as a dedicated power point for a portable fridge?

Yes, within the 20A 12V rating. Most portable fridges draw well under 10A during normal cycling, so a 20A-rated 12V outlet leaves decent headroom. Run it on an appropriately fused feed direct from the battery or auxiliary system. Use quality cable and solid terminations to avoid voltage drop over longer runs. Mount the socket where the fridge lead will not be strained.

Q: Can I mount this accessory socket inside a canopy or under a shelf?

Yes, as long as the surface is solid and accessible. The housing is built for surface mounting on flat panels, so it suits canopy walls, drawer wings or rear quarter trims. Pick a spot where the plug can be inserted and removed without interference. Make sure there is space behind the panel for wiring and strain relief. Always protect the feed with a correctly sized fuse near the power source.

Q: Do I need to protect this socket with a fuse or circuit breaker?

Yes, the circuit must be fused. Every accessory outlet should sit on a fused or breaker-protected feed to guard against short circuits. Place the fuse as close as practical to the battery or distribution point. Choose a fuse size that matches the cable rating and expected current draw, not just the 20A socket rating. This keeps both the wiring and gear safer on long trips.
