Kanlux TEKNO IP65GR Surface-Mounted French Socket with Shutter, 16A 250V, Grey

The Kanlux TEKNO IP65GR is a high-quality surface-mounted French-type power socket engineered for reliability in challenging environments. With its robust grey casing and an IP65 ingress protection rating, this socket provides excellent resistance against dust ingress and water jets, ensuring safe operation in areas where standard electrical outlets would fail. It is designed to provide a secure and stable power connection for various electrical devices while maintaining a high level of durability.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this socket is its superior environmental protection, which allows for installation in damp or dusty locations without compromising safety or performance. The inclusion of protective shutters adds an essential layer of child safety by preventing accidental contact with live parts. Its surface-mounted design simplifies the installation process, as it does not require deep wall recesses, making it a versatile choice for both new installations and retrofitting existing spaces.

Suitable for

• Garages and home workshops
• Outdoor areas under shelter
• Basements and utility rooms
• Industrial or semi-industrial environments

This socket may not be suitable for areas subject to total submersion in water or high-pressure cleaning, as it is rated for IP65 protection rather than full waterproofing. Additionally, it is designed specifically for French-type plugs, which may limit its compatibility with other international plug standards without the use of an adapter.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16A
• Rated voltage: 250V
• Ingress protection: IP65
• Configuration: 2P+Z (French type)
• Mounting: Surface-mounted
• Color: Grey

To use the Kanlux TEKNO IP65GR, ensure the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker before beginning installation. Mount the base of the socket securely to a flat, stable surface using appropriate screws. Connect the electrical wires to the designated terminals according to local electrical codes, ensuring that the grounding wire is properly attached. Once the wiring is complete, secure the cover to the base to ensure the gasket forms a proper seal against moisture and dust.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing electrical wiring is compatible with a 16A 250V socket.
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat to allow the IP65 gasket to seal correctly.
• Confirm that the plug type of your devices matches the French-type configuration.

Always ensure that the cable entry points are properly sealed during installation to maintain the IP65 rating, and periodically inspect the casing for any signs of damage or wear to ensure continued safety.
