KOS HYDRO LINE Double Hermetic Socket with Earthing 16A IP44 with Solid Flap White

The KOS HYDRO LINE double hermetic socket is a robust electrical solution engineered for environments where protection against moisture and dust is essential. This unit features a 16A capacity and is equipped with earthing to ensure safe operation of connected appliances. Its design includes a solid protective flap that shields the sockets from external elements, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor installations where safety is a priority.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this double hermetic socket is its IP44 protection rating, which provides a high level of resistance against splashing water and solid particles. The inclusion of a solid flap ensures that the electrical contacts remain protected when the socket is not in use, significantly reducing the risk of accidental contact or debris accumulation. Its durable construction and white finish allow it to blend seamlessly into various architectural styles while maintaining long-term functional integrity in demanding conditions.

Suitable for

• Residential garages and home workshops
• Covered outdoor patios and terraces
• Utility rooms and basements
• Areas prone to high humidity

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for direct exposure to heavy rainfall or water jets, as the IP44 rating only provides protection against splashing water. It should not be installed in environments requiring higher ingress protection, such as areas subject to submersion or extreme industrial chemical exposure.

How to use

Ensure the plug is fully seated to maintain the integrity of the connection. Always close the flap firmly after removing the plug to restore the protective seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the IP44 rating meets the specific environmental requirements of your installation site
• Ensure the mounting surface is suitable for the dimensions of the double socket
• Check that your electrical circuit supports a 16A load

Usage recommendations

To maintain the longevity of the product, periodically inspect the protective flap for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the seal remains intact and that the flap closes securely to prevent moisture ingress. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals on the plastic casing to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
