ELEKTROPLAST AQUANT 5045-67 Double Socket, IP65, Black

The ELEKTROPLAST AQUANT 5045-67 is a high-quality double socket engineered for surface mounting in challenging environments. This robust electrical unit features an IP65 ingress protection rating, providing complete defense against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. Designed with a durable anthracite-colored casing, it offers a reliable and safe power solution for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture or debris might be present.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this double socket is its exceptional durability and resistance to environmental factors. The IP65 rating ensures that the internal components remain protected from water and dust, which significantly extends the lifespan of the device. The inclusion of a protective cover adds an extra layer of safety, preventing accidental contact and shielding the sockets when not in use. Its surface-mounting design allows for straightforward installation on various wall types without the need for deep wall recesses, making it a versatile choice for industrial or residential upgrades.

Suitable for

• Outdoor areas such as patios, gardens, or balconies
• Workshops and garages where dust and moisture are common
• Basements and utility rooms
• Industrial environments requiring splash-proof electrical points

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for complete submersion in water or for use in high-pressure cleaning environments. It is also not suitable for flush-mounting installations, as it is specifically designed for surface-mounted applications.

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure all safety standards are met. The unit is mounted directly onto the wall surface using the provided frame. Ensure that the cable entry points are properly sealed to maintain the IP65 integrity. Once securely attached, connect the electrical wiring according to local regulations, ensuring the grounding contacts are correctly engaged. The protective cover should be closed when the socket is not in use to maintain its environmental rating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the surface where the socket will be mounted is flat and stable
• Ensure the electrical load does not exceed the 16 A rating
• Check that your existing wiring is compatible with surface-mounted hardware

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the protective cover and the housing for any signs of damage or wear to ensure the IP65 seal remains effective over time. Always keep the cover closed when not in use to prevent moisture accumulation.
