ORNO NT-16B2 Single Surface-Mounted Socket 2P+E with Flap, IP54, Grey

The ORNO NT-16B2 is a robust single surface-mounted electrical socket designed for 2P+E connections, engineered to provide a secure power source in challenging environments. Finished in a neutral grey, this socket features a durable construction and an integrated protective flap, ensuring that the internal components remain shielded from external elements. Its design prioritizes safety and longevity, making it a dependable choice for both residential and light industrial electrical installations.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this socket is its IP54 ingress protection rating, which guarantees resistance against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction. The inclusion of a spring-loaded protective flap adds an extra layer of security, preventing accidental contact and protecting the socket opening when not in use. Its surface-mounted design allows for straightforward installation on walls without the need for deep wall recesses, offering flexibility in placement for various indoor and outdoor sheltered locations.

Suitable for

• Garages and workshops
• Basements and utility rooms
• Outdoor areas under roof cover
• Industrial facilities requiring moisture-resistant connections

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for direct exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water, as it is rated for splash protection rather than full waterproofing. It is also not suitable for high-current industrial machinery that exceeds the standard voltage and amperage ratings of a typical 2P+E household socket.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 2P+E (Single socket)
• Ingress Protection: IP54
• Mounting type: Surface-mounted
• Color: Grey
• Protection: Integrated flap

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The socket is mounted directly onto a flat surface using the provided mounting points. Ensure that the electrical cables are properly stripped and secured into the terminal blocks before closing the housing. Once installed, the flap can be lifted to insert a plug, and it will automatically close when the plug is removed to maintain the IP54 seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the mounting surface is flat and stable
• Ensure the electrical circuit is compatible with 2P+E standards
• Check if the IP54 rating meets the specific environmental requirements of your installation site

Usage recommendations

For optimal safety and performance, ensure that the cable entry points are properly sealed during installation to maintain the integrity of the IP54 rating. Avoid using damaged plugs, as this may compromise the protective flap's ability to seal the socket effectively.
