Electrical socket (single) ELEKTROPLAST Carla 1736-10 with flap and shutters, IP44, white

Single electrical socket ELEKTROPLAST Carla 1736-10 in white is a recessed power outlet designed for environments that require splash and dust protection. With an IP44 rating, a hinged protective flap and internal shutters, this socket aims to provide basic protection against moisture and accidental contact while maintaining a compact, installation-friendly form factor suitable for residential and light-commercial settings.

Advantages

The socket combines IP44 splash resistance with internal safety shutters to reduce the risk of foreign-object insertion. The hinged protective flap covers the outlet when not in use, helping to keep dust and splashes away from live contacts. Its standard single-socket size and neutral white finish enable straightforward integration into common wall boxes and decor. The construction is intended for easy installation and routine maintenance.

Suitable for

• Indoor living areas where occasional splashes may occur (kitchens, utility rooms)
• Sheltered outdoor locations such as porches or covered terraces
• Garages and workshops with light-duty power needs
• Service rooms and technical spaces requiring basic dust and splash protection

Key specifications

• Protection class: IP44 (protection against solid objects over 1 mm and splashing water)
• Configuration: single recessed socket with hinged flap
• Safety feature: built-in internal shutters to prevent accidental contact
• Color and finish: white, matte surface suitable for standard interiors
• Mounting type: recessed wall installation into standard electrical back boxes

How to use

Install the socket into a compatible recessed back box following local electrical regulations and ensure power is switched off before beginning work. Connect supply conductors to the designated terminals according to wiring standards, secure the device in the wall box, and attach the cover frame and protective flap. After installation, use the hinged flap to cover the outlet when it is not in use; the internal shutters will remain closed until a plug is fully inserted to allow contact with live pins.

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, use the socket in locations consistent with its IP44 rating: sheltered or indoor environments where direct water jets are not present. Avoid exposing the device to heavy water flow or extreme outdoor conditions. Have electrical connections performed or checked by a qualified electrician, and periodically inspect the flap and shutters for debris or damage to maintain protection and safety.
