Doktorvolt surface-mounted single grounded socket IP44 white model 161-01

Doktorvolt surface-mounted single grounded socket IP44 white model 161-01 is a compact, ready-to-install outlet designed for situations where flush mounting is not possible. The white finish and single-socket format suit visible installations in utility spaces. With a grounded contact and an IP44 ingress protection rating, this surface-mounted socket provides basic protection against solid objects and water splashes, making it appropriate for sheltered outdoor areas and damp indoor rooms.

Advantages

This surface-mounted socket combines a grounded contact for safe connection of electrical devices with an IP44 rating that resists splashes and dust. The unit is pre-wired for quick surface installation without the need for embedding in walls, saving time during retrofits and additions. Its neutral white color integrates with most interiors and service areas, while the single outlet design minimizes footprint where only one powered point is required.

How to use

Turn off the circuit power before installing. Secure the socket housing to a flat surface using suitable screws and anchors for the substrate, route the supply cable through the provided cable entry, and connect live, neutral and earth conductors to the corresponding terminals following local wiring regulations. Tighten terminal screws to the specified torque and check that wires are fully inserted. After installation, restore power and verify correct operation with an appropriate tester.
