AS Schwabe 3-way rubber distribution socket blue with folding cover IP44 and hanging eye (model 60057)

Compact AS Schwabe 3-way rubber distribution socket blue with folding cover IP44 and hanging eye (model 60057) is a mains 230 V power distribution accessory designed for temporary or fixed installation where splash protection and portability are required. The device houses three grounded outlets within a durable rubber casing, offers an IP44-rated folding cover to protect sockets from splashes, and features a hanging eye for secure suspension in work environments. It is suitable for indoor use and for protected outdoor locations such as covered terraces, workshops and construction sites where limited water exposure may occur.

Advantages

The rubber housing provides mechanical protection and improved grip while resisting oils and grease typically found in workshop environments. The IP44 folding cover shields the sockets from splashes and debris when not in active use and can be closed between connections. Three grounded outlets allow simultaneous connection of multiple tools or appliances without additional adapters. The integrated hanging eye enables safe suspension close to work areas to keep cables off the ground and reduce trip hazards.

• Powering several 230 V tools simultaneously in workshops or garages
• Temporary power distribution on construction sites under splash-protected conditions
• Garden or terrace use where occasional water exposure is possible but not direct immersion
• Event setups, maintenance tasks and temporary installations requiring grounded outlets

How to use

Connect the distribution socket to a properly rated 230 V supply using a compatible mains plug and cable.

Insert appliances into the grounded outlets and close the folding cover when sockets are not in use to maintain splash protection. Do not expose the unit to direct water jets or immersion and avoid overloading beyond the rated capacity of the supply circuit.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the rubber housing and folding cover regularly for damage before use. Use the product only in accordance with local electrical regulations and ensure connected appliances are compatible with 230 V mains. For outdoor use, place the unit in a sheltered position to maintain IP44 protection; do not use in heavy rain or submerged conditions. If the device shows cracks, exposed conductors or persistent moisture inside the sockets, discontinue use and replace.
