The MONTIS double splash-proof socket MT071V provides two grounded power outlets in a compact unit designed for fixed installation. With a 2P+Z configuration and IP44 protection, this socket is engineered to resist water splashes and increased humidity, making it suitable for damp indoor and semi-outdoor locations. The unit includes protective covers for each outlet and a sealed enclosure that reduces the risk of moisture ingress while maintaining standard electrical safety for grounded appliances.

Advantages

This double socket delivers two grounded outlets in one footprint, simplifying installation and saving wall space. Its splash-proof design with IP44 sealing offers enhanced protection against water splashes and light ingress of water, which increases safety in bathrooms, kitchens and sheltered outdoor areas. The protective covers help prevent accidental contact and keep the receptacles clean when not in use. The unit is compatible with standard grounded plugs and is intended for fixed mounting to ensure steady, reliable power delivery.

How to use

Install the socket in accordance with national electrical codes and regulations, ensuring the circuit is de-energized before beginning work. Mount the unit securely to a suitable surface and make correct protective earth and line/neutral connections following the product wiring diagram and local standards. Use the hinged covers to protect outlets when not in use; close covers fully to maintain splash protection. Only connect appliances that are compatible with grounded outlets and within the circuit’s rated load.

Usage recommendations

For reliable protection, ensure seals and covers remain intact and free from damage. Do not expose the socket to direct jets of water; IP44 protects against splashes but not immersion. If the environment is exposed to heavy rain, direct spray, or permanent outdoor conditions, select a higher protection rating or an enclosure specifically rated for outdoor use. Periodically inspect contacts and seals for corrosion or wear and replace the unit if any damage compromises safety.
