Socket outlet KOS single waterproof IP44 with shutter and flap graphite model 666040

The KOS single waterproof socket outlet model 666040 is a graphite-coloured, IP44-rated power point designed for protected electrical connections in rooms and covered outdoor spaces where splash protection is required. The unit incorporates an integral contact shutter and a hinged protective flap to reduce the risk of accidental contact and to shield the outlet from moisture and dust. Its compact single-socket format is suitable for installations where one grounded connection is needed and where a resilient, easy-to-clean surface is preferred.

Advantages

This socket outlet offers IP44 ingress protection to resist water splashes and limited dust exposure, making it appropriate for damp environments. The built-in contact shutter enhances safety by preventing direct access to live contacts when the plug is not inserted. A protective flap provides an additional barrier against moisture and debris while maintaining easy access for regular use. The graphite finish provides a neutral, maintenance-friendly surface compatible with industrial and residential decors.

Suitable for

• Garages and workshops where splash protection is required
• Utility rooms, basements and laundry areas
• Balconies and covered terraces
• Sheltered outdoor installations such as porches or canopies

How to use

Mount the outlet according to local electrical codes and manufacturer recommendations, ensuring correct earthing and secure wiring connections. The protective flap should be closed when the socket is not in use to limit exposure to splashes and debris; open the flap and insert a compatible grounded plug fully until it seats and engages the internal shutter. After use, remove the plug and close the flap to maintain the IP44 protection. Regularly inspect the device for damage to the flap, shutter, or mounting, and disconnect power before servicing.

Usage recommendations

Install this IP44 socket outlet in locations protected from direct rain and heavy water jets; for permanently exposed outdoor locations consider a higher ingress protection rating. Verify compatibility with local voltage, plug types and electrical installation standards prior to installation. Clean the flap and faceplate with a damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner; avoid high-pressure water and chemical solvents.
