Socket outlet Legrand Niloe Selection 2P+E IP44 16A 250V with shutter, screw terminals, steel finish

Legrand Niloe Selection 2P+E IP44 16A 250V socket outlet with shutter and screw terminals provides a grounded electrical connection with splash protection suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. The steel finish offers a neutral, durable appearance that integrates with modern interiors while the IP44 rating protects the device from water splashes and solid objects larger than 1 mm. The safety shutter reduces the risk of accidental contact with live parts, and screw terminal connections allow for secure, conventional wiring during installation.

Advantages

This socket combines a protective IP44 enclosure with a 16A/250V rating to support common household and light commercial appliances. The safety shutter enhances user protection by preventing foreign objects from being inserted. Screw terminals provide reliable mechanical and electrical contact, simplifying installation and maintenance. The steel finish resists everyday wear and complements neutral décor, while the compact form factor fits standard mounting boxes for quick replacement or new installations.

Suitable for

• Indoor rooms with occasional moisture exposure such as kitchens and bathrooms (sheltered zones)
• Workshops, utility rooms and laundry areas where splash protection is required
• Domestic and light-commercial circuits requiring a 16A grounded outlet
• Replacements or upgrades where a shuttered, screw-terminal socket is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for use in fully exposed outdoor locations subject to direct rain, immersion or high-pressure water jets, as the IP44 rating only provides limited splash protection. It is also not suitable where higher current capacity is needed (above 16A) or where alternative connection types (e.g., push-in terminals or backwiring) are specifically required by an installation standard or preference.

Key specifications

• Supply rating: 16 A, 250 V AC
• Contact configuration: 2 poles + earth (grounded outlet)
• Protection class: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Connection type: screw terminals for line, neutral and earth
• Safety feature: built-in protective shutter
• Finish: steel-colour plate
• Mounting: standard flush mounting box compatibility

How to use

Switch off the supply at the consumer unit before installation. Mount the socket in a compatible flush box, connect the incoming live, neutral and earth conductors to the corresponding screw terminals and tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. Ensure the protective shutter operates freely after wiring. After securing the faceplate, restore power and verify correct operation with an appropriate tester. For maintenance, isolate the circuit before removing the faceplate or accessing terminals.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 16A, 250V rated outlet meets the current and appliance requirements of the intended circuit
• Confirm that IP44 splash protection is sufficient for the installation location and local regulations
• Ensure compatibility with existing mounting boxes and wall depth for screw-terminal access
• Check whether screw terminals are preferred or required by the installer over other terminal types

Usage recommendations

Use this Legrand Niloe Selection 2P+E socket in areas where limited water exposure may occur but where a grounded, shuttered outlet is required. For installations in zones with direct water exposure or outdoors, select devices with higher ingress protection. Always follow local wiring regulations and, if unsure, consult a qualified electrician for correct selection and safe installation.
