Socket outlet Legrand Niloe Step 863136 IP44 with earth and shutters, automatic terminals, white

Legrand Niloe Step 863136 IP44 is a sealed socket outlet with earth contact and built-in protective shutters. The unit is finished in white and rated IP44, providing splash protection for indoor and semi-outdoor environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages and covered terraces. The socket includes automatic push-in terminals for faster and more reliable wiring, and is intended for fixed installation in walls or mounting boxes where a durable, splash-resistant power point is required.

Advantages

The IP44 rating ensures basic protection against water splashes and solid objects larger than 1 mm, while the integrated earth contact provides grounding for compatible appliances. Built-in protective shutters help prevent accidental contact with live parts, improving safety in areas accessible to children or where dust and moisture are present. Automatic push-in terminals simplify installation by allowing conductors to be inserted without screw tightening, reducing assembly time and ensuring secure electrical connections. The neutral white finish integrates with common interior fittings.

Suitable for

• Residential kitchens and bathrooms where splash protection is required
• Garages and utility rooms with occasional exposure to moisture
• Covered outdoor areas such as porches and terraces with overhead protection
• Replacement or upgrade of existing wall sockets in domestic and light-commercial settings

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for fully exposed outdoor installations where direct rain, jets of water or immersion may occur; for such locations a higher IP-rated enclosure would be required. It is also not suitable for heavy industrial environments where specialized, ruggedized sockets with higher current ratings or additional mechanical protection are necessary.

Key specifications

• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Contact type: Earth (protective earth contact included)
• Safety: Built-in protective shutters to prevent accidental access to live contacts
• Termination: Automatic push-in terminals for quick wiring
• Finish: White
• Mounting: For flush wall installation or mounting boxes

How to use

Switch off the circuit breaker before starting installation. Fit the socket into the prepared mounting box, connect the live, neutral and earth conductors into the automatic push-in terminals following local wiring regulations and the product’s wiring diagram, then secure the device to the box and restore power. Use the socket for standard mains-powered appliances appropriate for its rating, and avoid connecting devices that exceed the circuit or device current capacity. Regularly inspect the unit for signs of damage, moisture ingress or wear and replace if any concern is found.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that IP44 splash protection is sufficient for your intended location and that a higher IP rating is not required
• Check compatibility with local wiring standards and wall box dimensions for flush mounting
• Ensure the socket’s current rating matches the circuit and the appliances to be used
• Confirm that built-in shutters and earth contact meet your safety preferences

Usage recommendations

Install the device in covered or indoor areas where only occasional splashing can occur. Prefer installation by a qualified electrician and use appropriate sealing around the mounting box in damp locations to maintain the IP44 performance. Do not use outdoors without overhead protection or in locations requiring a higher ingress protection rating.
