Electrical outlet ORNO OR-AE-1397(GS)MB IP44 stainless steel with windproof mounting box Schuko

ORNO OR-AE-1397(GS)MB is a Schuko electrical outlet designed for outdoor and damp indoor installations. The unit features a stainless steel front plate and is supplied with a windproof mounting box, providing a durable and stable solution for locations exposed to splash and dust. With IP44 protection, this outlet balances corrosion resistance with practical weather protection for powering appliances, garden tools, and outdoor lighting.

Advantages

The stainless steel front ensures improved corrosion resistance and easy cleaning compared with standard plastic plates. The windproof mounting box secures the outlet against drafts and prevents accidental detachment during installation. IP44-rated ingress protection provides defense against splashes and solid objects larger than 1 mm, making it suitable for many external and semi-exposed environments. Compatibility with standard Schuko plugs allows straightforward connection of a wide range of devices.

How to use

Mount the windproof box on a suitable flat surface, ensuring secure fastening and correct orientation. Connect supply wiring in accordance with local electrical regulations and safety standards, observing correct polarity and earthing requirements for Schuko installations. After wiring, attach the stainless steel front and outlet mechanism to the mounting box, verify mechanical stability, and test the outlet with a compatible Schuko plug and a known working device. For installations in exposed locations, ensure cable entries and seals are correctly made to maintain IP44 protection.
