Surface-mounted double grounded socket Doktorvolt 162-01 IP44 white

Surface-mounted double grounded socket Doktorvolt 162-01 IP44 white is a compact, wall-mounted mains outlet designed to accept two grounded plugs. The IP44-rated enclosure offers protection against splashing water and solid objects larger than 1 mm, making the unit suitable for indoor areas and sheltered outdoor locations. The white finish and rounded profile are intended to integrate with typical domestic and light-commercial electrical installations while providing a durable connection point for appliances, tools and lighting.

Advantages

This surface-mounted double grounded socket combines a twin outlet arrangement with IP44 ingress protection for reliable performance in environments exposed to occasional splashes or dust. The socket is designed for straightforward surface installation without the need to recess the box, simplifying fitting on solid walls, panels or in utility spaces. Durable materials and a covered frame improve resistance to wear while preserving access for standard grounded plugs.

• Domestic rooms such as kitchens, corridors and utility rooms where surface mounting is preferred
• Garages and workshops for powering hand tools and lighting
• Sheltered outdoor installations such as covered verandas or carports
• Temporary power points in renovation zones or construction sites with moderate exposure

How to use

Install the socket on a suitable surface using the recommended screws and anchors for the wall material, ensuring the supply is switched off at the consumer unit before any wiring. Connect the live, neutral and protective earth conductors to the terminal block following local electrical regulations and the polarity markings on the unit. After wiring, secure the faceplate and verify mechanical stability and sealing at joints to maintain IP44 protection. Test the outlet with an appropriate socket tester or a known appliance before regular use.

Use this socket in locations where splash resistance and ease of surface mounting are required. Avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or immersion and ensure installation complies with local electrical codes. For continuous outdoor exposure or environments with high water jets, select a higher IP-rated enclosure.
