This socket is not suitable for outdoor use or in environments with high humidity, such as bathrooms or near water sources, as it lacks specific ingress protection ratings. Additionally, it is not intended for industrial applications that require heavy-duty power loads exceeding standard residential electrical ratings.

Key specifications

• Type: Double socket outlet
• Mounting: Flush-mounted
• Grounding: Integrated grounding contact

To install the VILMA 16-021, ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected at the main circuit breaker before beginning any work. Remove the existing socket cover and disconnect the wiring, then connect the phase, neutral, and ground wires to the corresponding terminals on the new unit. Secure the socket into the wall box using the provided screws and attach the faceplate. If you are not experienced with electrical installations, it is strongly recommended to consult a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall box is compatible with flush-mounted double sockets.
• Ensure the electrical load of your devices does not exceed the rated capacity of the socket.
• Check if the wall box has the necessary grounding wire available for connection.

For optimal safety and longevity, avoid overloading the socket with high-wattage appliances simultaneously and periodically inspect the faceplate for any signs of damage or loose connections.
