Switch ORNO OR-OE-7100/B single-pole surface-mounted AQUATIC IP44 black

Surface-mounted single-pole switch ORNO OR-OE-7100/B from the AQUATIC series is a compact on/off control designed for environments where splash protection is required. The switch has a black finish and IP44 protection, enabling installation in residential and light commercial spaces such as bathrooms, kitchens, corridors and covered outdoor areas. It provides a single-circuit switching function for lighting and small electrical loads and is intended for surface mounting where concealed wiring is not available or practical.

Advantages

The switch combines a simple single-pole mechanism with an IP44-rated enclosure to resist water splashes and limited ingress of solid objects. Its surface-mounted design simplifies installation on walls and panels without the need for flush boxes. The black finish offers a discreet appearance that integrates with modern interiors and contrasts well with lighter surfaces. The product is compatible with standard wiring practices for single-circuit lighting and small loads.

Suitable for

• Bathrooms and shower rooms with splash exposure (mounted outside direct water streams)
• Kitchens and utility rooms where occasional splashes occur
• Corridors, stairwells and common areas in residential buildings
• Covered outdoor areas such as porches and verandas protected from direct rain
• Retrofit surface installations where flush mounting is not possible

Key specifications

• Type: single-pole on/off switch for one circuit
• Mounting: surface-mounted housing suitable for wall installation
• Protection rating: IP44 (splash-resistant, protected against solid objects >1 mm)
• Finish: black color housing and actuator
• Intended use: control of lighting and small electrical loads
• Installation environment: indoor and covered outdoor locations with splash exposure

How to use

Turn the actuator to switch the connected circuit on or off; the switch is intended for single-circuit control only. Observe standard electrical safety practices: isolate power before wiring, use appropriate cable types and conductor sizes for the load, and secure connections within the terminal chamber. Mount the unit on a stable surface using recommended fasteners and ensure the enclosure seals are correctly positioned to maintain IP44 protection. After installation, restore power and verify correct operation of the switch and the controlled circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch only within its protection class: avoid direct water jets or prolonged outdoor exposure. Confirm the switch's rated current and voltage are suitable for the connected load; for inductive loads or higher currents, use an appropriate contactor or relay. Regularly inspect the enclosure and actuator for damage and ensure seals remain intact to retain splash resistance.
