Socket ABL IP44 black rubber E-1479090 weatherproof electrical outlet

ABL Socket IP44 black rubber E-1479090 is a weatherproof electrical outlet designed for outdoor and damp-area use. The unit features an IP44 protection rating and a rubberised black housing that resists wear and provides splash protection for connected plugs and cables. It is intended for safe temporary power supply to tools, garden equipment, and outdoor lighting where protection against water splashes and mechanical abrasion is required.

Advantages

The rubberised housing improves grip and impact resistance while protecting internal contacts from moisture and dirt. IP44-rated sealing ensures protection against water splashes from any direction and prevents ingress of solid objects larger than 1 mm. The design allows straightforward mounting and connection in sheltered outdoor locations or damp indoor areas, combining weather resistance with practical serviceability.

Suitable for

• Temporary outdoor power for hand tools and electric garden equipment
• Power supply for outdoor lighting and decorations in sheltered locations
• Use in garages, workshops, and other damp or dusty utility areas
• Sites where splash protection and mechanical durability are required

Key specifications

• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Housing material: rubberised exterior for improved wear resistance
• Color: black
• Mounting: surface-mount or panel-mount compatible design for sheltered outdoor use
• Intended use: mains voltage electrical outlet for temporary connections

How to use

Install the socket in accordance with local electrical standards and wiring regulations. Ensure the mounting location is suitable for IP44-rated devices (sheltered from direct heavy rain) and that the supply is isolated before making connections. Secure the housing to a stable surface and connect live, neutral and earth conductors to the appropriate terminals. After wiring, verify seals and the protective cover operate correctly to maintain splash protection. Use compatible plugs and inserts and avoid continuous exposure to heavy rain or immersion.

Usage recommendations

Use the outlet for temporary or semi-permanent outdoor installations where splash protection is needed but full weatherproofing for immersion is not required. Regularly inspect seals and the rubberised exterior for signs of wear, and replace the unit if mechanical damage or persistent moisture ingress is observed.
