Socket outlet 2P+E IP44 Legrand Niloe Step 863136B with automatic terminals and shutter — white

Legrand Niloe Step 863136B is a 2P+E (two-pole plus earth) socket outlet with IP44-rated protection, intended for indoor and protected outdoor locations requiring splash resistance. The unit is finished in white and incorporates automatic push-type terminals to simplify and speed installation, plus a built-in safety shutter to reduce the risk of accidental contact with live parts. Its design follows standard mounting dimensions for compatibility with common flush boxes and faceplate systems.

Advantages

This Legrand socket offers IP44 protection against water splashes and solid objects, making it suitable for humid spaces. Automatic terminals allow quicker wiring without the need for separate screw tightening on conductors, which can reduce installation time and ensure firm conductor contact. The integrated safety shutter limits access to live contacts, improving user safety. The white finish matches many interior styles and the product is designed to fit standard mounting systems for easy replacement or upgrade.

Suitable for

• Bathroom or kitchen areas where splash protection is required (subject to local electrical regulations)
• Garages, utility rooms and covered outdoor spaces
• New installations and replacement of existing in-wall outlets with compatible faceplates

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not rated for direct exposure to jets of water or continuous outdoor immersion and therefore should not be used in fully exposed external locations. It is intended for fixed wiring installations and may not be suitable for specialised industrial environments that require higher ingress protection or additional mechanical robustness.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 2-pole plus earth (2P+E)
• Ingress protection: IP44 (protection against solid objects >1 mm and splashing water)
• Terminal type: Automatic (push) terminals for faster conductor insertion
• Safety features: Built-in shutter to prevent accidental contact with live pins
• Finish: White
• Mounting: Standard in-wall flush mounting compatible with common faceplates

How to use

Turn off the circuit supply before starting any installation work. Mount the socket into a compatible flush box and secure according to manufacturer instructions. Insert stripped conductors into the automatic push terminals until they lock; verify that conductors are held firmly by a gentle pull. Restore supply and test the outlet with an appropriate tester to confirm correct wiring and earth continuity. Ensure the shutter operates freely and that the outlet is installed in a location consistent with its IP44 rating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that IP44 protection meets the environmental conditions of the intended location (not suitable for direct water jets or immersion)
• Confirm compatibility with your existing mounting box and faceplate dimensions
• Ensure the automatic terminal accepts your conductor type and cross-section
• Check local electrical regulations for use in bathrooms or other wet areas

Usage recommendations

Use the socket for connections in kitchens, bathrooms, garages and sheltered outdoor spaces where splash protection is required. For installations in zones with stricter ingress or safety requirements, select products with a higher IP rating or additional protective features and always comply with local wiring regulations and testing procedures.
