Socket outlet single surface-mounted Abex NT-16B2 2P+E splashproof with flap IP44 white

The Abex NT-16B2 single surface-mounted socket outlet in white is a practical 2P+E power point with a protective flap and IP44 splashproof rating. Designed for wall mounting, it is intended to provide a weather-resistant connection point for appliances and equipment in indoor and sheltered outdoor locations. The compact, surface-mounted design allows installation where recessed wiring is not possible or desired, while the flap protects contacts from splashes, dust and accidental contact.

Advantages

The socket offers a simple, robust solution for adding a power outlet without modifying wall cavities. Its IP44 splashproof rating ensures basic protection against water splashes and solid objects larger than 1 mm, making it suitable for garages, utility rooms and covered outdoor areas. The protective flap reduces the risk of moisture ingress and accidental contact, and the white finish provides a neutral appearance that integrates with most interiors. Installation is straightforward for surface wiring and it supports standard two-pole plus earth connections for grounded devices.

How to use

Mount the Abex NT-16B2 on a suitable flat surface following local electrical regulations. Provide surface cabling or conduit to the socket and secure the unit with the manufacturer-recommended screws. Connect live, neutral and earth conductors to the appropriate terminals, ensuring power is switched off before wiring. After connection, close the protective flap when the outlet is not in use to maintain splash protection. The socket is ready for standard grounded appliances once wiring and mounting are completed and the circuit is correctly energised.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket in locations protected from direct heavy rain and avoid exposure to prolonged water jets. Verify that the connected equipment is suitable for the available supply and that installation is performed by a qualified person in accordance with local electrical codes. Regularly inspect the flap and terminals for signs of wear, and replace the unit if mechanical damage or loss of protection is detected.
