Wall-mounted single power socket Abex NT-16B2 2P+E splashproof with flap IP44, grey-black

Abex NT-16B2 is a wall-mounted single power socket designed for 2-pole plus earth (2P+E) connections. The unit includes an integrated protective flap and an IP44 splashproof rating, making it suitable for indoor and semi-outdoor locations where protection against water splashes and dust is required. Finished in a grey-black colour, this compact surface-mounted outlet offers a practical power point for workshops, garages, utility rooms and covered outdoor areas.

Advantages

The splashproof IP44 rating provides protection against water splashes from any direction and limited ingress of solid objects, increasing safety in humid or dusty environments. The protective flap helps prevent accidental contact with the socket contacts and reduces the risk of contamination when the outlet is not in use. Surface-mounted construction simplifies installation on existing walls without the need for recessed boxes. The neutral grey-black finish integrates with industrial and utility interiors while maintaining a discreet appearance.

Suitable for

• Workshops and repair areas requiring a durable, splash-resistant power point
• Garages and basements where occasional moisture or dust exposure occurs
• Utility rooms, boiler rooms and storage spaces
• Covered outdoor areas such as porches or car ports with protection from direct rain

Key specifications

• Mounting: surface-mounted, wall installation
• Contact configuration: single socket for 2-pole plus earth (2P+E)
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splashproof)
• Protective feature: hinged flap/cover to protect socket contacts
• Finish: grey-black colour
• Typical applications: indoor and semi-outdoor use where splash protection is needed

How to use

Install the socket on a suitable vertical surface using appropriate screws and anchors for the wall material. Ensure electrical supply is isolated before connecting wiring and follow local electrical codes: connect phase, neutral and earth conductors to the corresponding terminals. After wiring, secure the cover plate and test the outlet with a suitable tester to confirm correct polarity and earth continuity. The protective flap should remain closed when the socket is not in use to keep contacts protected from splashes and debris.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only in locations consistent with its IP44 splashproof rating: protected from direct heavy rain and immersed water. For permanently wet or fully outdoor exposed installations choose a higher IP-rated enclosure. Regularly inspect the flap hinge and terminal connections for signs of wear or corrosion, and disconnect power before performing maintenance.
