Surface-mounted socket outlet ELEKTROPLAST GNT Hermes 2x2P+Z with smoke-colored flap, white (0322-01)

Surface-mounted socket outlet ELEKTROPLAST GNT Hermes 2x2P+Z with smoke-colored flap in white is a double, grounded electrical outlet designed for installation on external surfaces where flush mounting is impractical. The unit integrates two 2-pole-plus-earth sockets in a single enclosure with a protective smoke-tinted flap that shields contacts from dust and incidental splashes while allowing convenient access to both sockets. The product is intended for indoor and sheltered outdoor surface wiring applications in residential and commercial settings.

Advantages

The surface-mounted design simplifies installation on walls, columns or other exposed surfaces without the need for recessed boxes. A smoke-colored protective flap reduces visible dirt and offers modest protection against dust and light moisture, while the white housing provides a neutral appearance compatible with common interior finishes. Built-in grounding ensures safe connection of grounded appliances and tools. The compact double-socket format consolidates two outlets into one footprint, saving space and reducing installation points.

Suitable for

• Surface wiring in apartments, houses and offices
• Sheltered outdoor locations such as porches or garages
• Workshops, utility rooms and service areas for power tools and equipment
• Temporary or retrofit installations where flush mounting is not available

Key specifications

• Configuration: two 2-pole plus earth (grounded) sockets in one enclosure
• Mounting type: surface-mounted for external installation on walls or panels
• Protective cover: smoke-colored flap to shield sockets from dust and splashes
• Color: white housing with smoke-tinted flap
• Application: suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use

How to use

Install the outlet on a suitable flat surface using appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate. Ensure the electrical supply is disconnected before making connections. Connect line, neutral and earth conductors to the corresponding terminals following local wiring regulations and recommended torque values. After wiring and securing the cover, restore power and test each socket with a suitable tester to confirm proper operation and grounding continuity. The smoke-colored flap remains closed when sockets are not in use and can be lifted to access the outlets.

Usage recommendations

Use this surface-mounted outlet for permanently wired applications where protection from direct water exposure is not required; avoid installing in locations subject to heavy rain or full outdoor exposure. For marginally damp environments, ensure the mounting location is sheltered and wiring complies with local safety standards. Periodically inspect the flap and contacts for wear or contamination and tighten terminal connections during scheduled maintenance.
