Featuring a grounding contact and an IP44 protection rating, this unit is specifically designed to withstand moisture and dust ingress. The durable brown casing is complemented by a protective flap, which shields the socket interior when not in use, ensuring long-term performance and electrical safety in various indoor and outdoor settings.

Advantages

This socket offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality construction materials, which are resistant to mechanical damage and environmental factors. The IP44 rating provides peace of mind by protecting the electrical connection against splashing water and solid objects. Its surface-mounted design simplifies the installation process, eliminating the need for deep wall cutting, while the integrated flap adds an extra layer of security against accidental contact and environmental debris.

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure all safety standards are met. The socket is mounted directly onto the wall surface using appropriate screws.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the IP44 rating meets your specific environmental requirements
• Check if the brown color matches your existing interior or exterior design
