Socket outlet Abex single recessed IP54 with switch and earth/neutral protection B2, white

The Abex single recessed socket outlet B2 in white combines a switched power point with integrated earth/neutral (PE/N) protection and IP54 splash- and dust-resistant construction. Designed for flush mounting, this outlet provides a compact, safety-focused solution for installations where a protected, switched socket is required. The unit is intended for interior spaces or sheltered locations where increased ingress protection is necessary without sacrificing a discreet, recessed appearance.

Advantages

The socket offers built-in PE/N protection that helps reduce risk from certain fault conditions and ensures safe neutral and earth handling. Its integrated switch allows convenient on/off control at the point of use while maintaining the recessed design to minimise protrusion. IP54-rated housing provides resistance against limited dust ingress and splashing water, making the unit suitable for environments that demand higher protection than standard domestic outlets. The white finish supports neutral visual integration with common interior styles.

Suitable for

• Residential rooms requiring a switched and protected outlet, such as kitchens or utility rooms
• Commercial premises where recessed fittings and IP54 protection are preferred
• Workshops, garages or sheltered outdoor areas with occasional splashing or dust exposure

Key specifications

• Flush-mounted single socket with integrated switch
• Earth/neutral (PE/N) protective connection integrated
• Ingress protection rating: IP54 (splash and dust resistant)
• Colour: white
• Compact recessed design for minimal protrusion from the mounting surface

How to use

Install the recessed socket into an appropriate mounting box following local electrical codes and standards. Ensure power is isolated before connecting supply conductors and verify proper connection of phase, neutral and protective earth/neutral pathway as required. The switch operates the live feed to the socket, allowing the connected appliance to be turned on and off at the outlet. After wiring, secure the faceplate and test the outlet and integrated protection function with suitable testing equipment to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this recessed, IP54-rated Abex outlet in locations where occasional splashes or dust are expected; avoid direct exposure to heavy water jets or fully outdoor, unprotected installations. Have a qualified electrician perform installation and periodic verification of protective connections and switch operation to maintain safety and compliance.
