ELEKTROPLAST AQUANT 2K Double Surface-Mounted Socket with Grounding 2x2P+Z IP55 Grey

The ELEKTROPLAST AQUANT 2K is a robust double surface-mounted electrical socket engineered for secure power distribution in challenging conditions. This unit is specifically designed to provide reliable connectivity while maintaining high safety standards, featuring a durable construction that withstands environmental stressors. Its grey housing is built for longevity, ensuring that the socket remains functional and aesthetically consistent even after extended periods of use in demanding locations.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this double socket is its IP55 ingress protection rating, which offers effective resistance against dust ingress and water splashes from various directions. This makes it a dependable choice for areas where moisture or debris might otherwise compromise standard electrical components. Furthermore, the inclusion of grounding provides an essential layer of protection against electrical faults, enhancing the safety of your connected devices and the overall electrical installation. The surface-mounted design simplifies the installation process, as it does not require deep wall recesses, allowing for quick and efficient mounting on various solid surfaces.

Suitable for

• Garages and home workshops
• Outdoor covered areas such as patios or balconies
• Utility rooms and basements
• Industrial or semi-industrial environments

This socket may not be suitable for areas subject to direct, high-pressure water jets or complete submersion, as the IP55 rating is intended for splashes and dust protection rather than full waterproofing. It is also not designed for installation in hazardous environments where explosion-proof equipment is required.

Key specifications

• Type: Double surface-mounted socket
• Protection rating: IP55
• Grounding: Included (2P+Z)
• Color: Grey
• Mounting: Surface-mounted

To install the ELEKTROPLAST AQUANT 2K, ensure the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Mount the base of the socket securely to the wall surface using appropriate screws and anchors. Connect the electrical wires to the designated terminals, ensuring that the grounding wire is properly attached to the earth terminal. Once the wiring is complete, secure the cover to the base, ensuring the gasket is properly seated to maintain the IP55 seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the mounting surface is flat and stable
• Ensure the electrical wiring is compatible with the socket specifications
• Check if the IP55 rating meets the specific environmental requirements of your installation site

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, ensure that all cable entries are properly sealed using appropriate cable glands to maintain the IP55 integrity of the housing. Regularly inspect the socket for any signs of physical damage or wear, especially if installed in high-traffic areas.
