Socket outlet Ospel GPH-1RZ/m/27/w — 16 A, IP44, 71×71×42 mm

Ospel GPH-1RZ/m/27/w is a compact single socket outlet designed for standard mains power distribution in residential and light-commercial settings. Rated for 16 A and protected to IP44, this unit provides splash resistance for installations in sheltered outdoor locations as well as indoor areas where occasional moisture exposure may occur. Its small footprint (71 × 71 × 42 mm) and screw terminal connections make it suitable for retrofit and new-install wiring where a reliable, space-saving power point is required.

Advantages

The socket combines a common 16 A current rating with 250 V nominal voltage capability and a power-handling capacity suitable for most household and small workshop appliances. IP44 ingress protection ensures resistance to splashing water and solid objects larger than 1 mm, increasing installation flexibility. Screw terminals provide a secure, low-maintenance electrical connection and simplified wiring during installation. The compact dimensions allow placement in constrained spaces without compromising accessibility.

Suitable for

• Indoor rooms such as kitchens, living rooms, utility rooms and garages

How to use

Install the socket in accordance with local electrical regulations and wiring practices. Before installation, switch off the relevant circuit at the distribution board and verify that power is isolated. Use appropriately sized conductors for a 16 A circuit and secure them under the screw terminals, ensuring good mechanical and electrical contact. Mount the unit in a sheltered position when used outdoors to retain IP44 effectiveness. After connecting and securing the device, restore power and test the outlet with a suitable tester or appliance to confirm correct wiring and operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the socket with appliances and devices that do not exceed the 16 A rating or the stated continuous power. Avoid exposing the unit to direct jets of water or unprotected outdoor conditions beyond covered areas. Periodically inspect terminal tightness and the mounting condition as part of routine electrical maintenance.
