Outlet box accessory Kontakt-Simon DU1, gasket for single frame, pack 1

Kontakt-Simon DU1 is a replacement gasket for a single electrical frame in the SIMON54 family, supplied as one unit per pack. It creates a tighter seal between the wall opening and the decorative frame to reduce the ingress of moisture and dust into the mounting cavity of switches and sockets. The gasket is intended for indoor use and for sheltered outdoor locations where improved resistance to humidity and light splashing is required.

Advantages

The gasket provides a consistent sealing profile that improves ingress protection without changing the frame appearance or mounting method. It installs without special tools and remains compatible with standard single-frame accessories in the SIMON54 range. With IP44-level protection it helps guard against water splashes and larger dust particles, contributing to longer reliable operation of the electrical devices behind the frame.

Suitable for

• Sealing single electrical frames in residential interiors such as bathrooms and kitchens.
• Protecting switches and sockets in sheltered outdoor locations like covered balconies or porches.
• Replacing worn or missing gaskets in the SIMON54 single-frame series.

When it may not be suitable

This gasket offers IP44-level protection, which covers splashes and larger dust particles but is not rated for full water immersion or high-pressure cleaning. It may be unsuitable for fully exposed outdoor installations or environments that require higher protection degrees such as IP65 or IP67. Verify the gasket shape and dimensions match your specific SIMON54 single-frame model before installation.

Key specifications

• Protection class: IP44 (protection against splashes and solid particles)
• Intended application: single electrical frame (SIMON54 series)
• Material characteristics: flexible sealing material compatible with wall-frame interfaces
• Compatibility: designed to work with single-frame accessories in the SIMON54 family
• Installation type: replacement gasket for surface-mounted or flush-mounted single frames

How to use

Switch off the power to the relevant circuit before removing the existing frame. Detach the decorative frame from the wall and remove any old gasket or debris from the mounting surface. Align the replacement gasket with the frame contour and mounting holes, then reattach the frame ensuring an even compressive fit around the perimeter. Restore power and test the connected device. Follow standard electrical safety practices and consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your SIMON54 single-frame model and the frame's dimensions.
• Assess whether IP44 protection is sufficient for the intended location (indoors or sheltered outdoors).
• Check the mounting method (surface or flush) to ensure correct gasket fit and sealing.

Usage recommendations

Ensure mating surfaces are clean and dry before fitting the gasket. Replace worn or deformed gaskets promptly to maintain protection; consult an electrician if installation requires access to live wiring.
