Kontakt-Simon Simon Aquaclick Double Compact Socket with Earthing and Grey Flap IP44

The Kontakt-Simon Simon Aquaclick Double Compact Socket with Earthing and Grey Flap is a robust electrical solution engineered for surface mounting in challenging environments. This double socket provides a reliable power connection while ensuring safety through its integrated earthing system. Designed with an IP44 ingress protection rating, it effectively resists splashes and dust, making it a dependable choice for areas where standard indoor sockets would be insufficient.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this socket is its enhanced durability and protection against environmental factors. The inclusion of a protective grey flap ensures that the internal components remain shielded from moisture and debris when the socket is not in use. Its compact design allows for efficient space utilization, while the surface-mounted configuration simplifies installation on various wall types without the need for deep wall recesses.

Suitable for

• Garages and workshops
• Utility rooms and basements
• Covered outdoor areas such as patios or balconies
• Laundry rooms where moisture may be present

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for direct exposure to heavy rain or water jets, as it is rated IP44 rather than waterproof. It should not be installed in areas subject to submersion or extreme industrial conditions that require higher ingress protection ratings.

How to use

The socket is designed for surface installation. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning the mounting process. Secure the base to the wall surface using appropriate hardware, connect the electrical wires to the designated terminals according to local electrical codes, and attach the cover plate. Once installed, the flap can be lifted to insert a plug and will close automatically to maintain protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the surface area is flat and suitable for surface mounting.
• Ensure the IP44 rating meets the specific moisture requirements of your installation site.
• Check that the electrical load of your devices does not exceed the socket's rated capacity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal safety and longevity, ensure that the protective flap is kept closed when the socket is not in use. Periodically inspect the housing and flap for any signs of wear or damage to maintain the integrity of the IP44 seal.
