Black surface-mounted retro-style electrical socket designed for exposed surface electrical installations in residential, commercial and historic interiors. The classic round design fits perfectly into retro, loft, rustic and vintage-style interiors. The socket is made of heat-resistant thermoplastic and is designed for 250 V AC voltage and 16 A current. Surface-mounted installation allows for easy installation on a wall, while the IP20 protection rating means that the product is suitable for use only in dry indoor areas.

Product description

Black surface-mounted retro-style electrical socket – 250 V, IP20, Ø62 mm

Surface-mounted retro-style electrical socket is designed for electrical installations where the socket is mounted directly on the wall surface or on a compatible frame, without installing it into a recessed mounting box. The black round housing and classic shape can be combined with retro, loft, rustic, industrial or historic interior elements.

The socket can be used in restored manor houses, country houses, vintage-style residential spaces, new lofts, hotels, restaurants, workshops and other spaces where the electrical installation is not only a functional element but also a visible part of the interior.

The housing is made of heat-resistant thermoplastic. Product dimensions: 62 mm diameter and 47 mm height. The socket is intended for use in dry indoor areas, as it has an IP20 protection rating.

Surface-mounted installation:
The socket is mounted directly onto the wall or into a compatible frame. This solution is particularly convenient for open retro or loft-style installations where cables are routed along the surface through decorative conduits or cable channels.

For use in dry indoor areas only:
IP20 protection does not provide protection against water or increased humidity. The socket must not be installed outdoors, in wet areas of bathrooms, saunas or other locations where direct exposure to water, condensation or steam is possible.

Retro and loft-style design

The round socket shape and surface-mounted installation method resemble traditional open electrical installations used in older residential and utility buildings. Therefore, the product is suitable for interiors where a historic, industrial or rustic character is to be maintained.

Interior matching recommendations:

Combine with surface-mounted switches in the same colour.
Use matching decorative cable conduits or cable holders.
Match with door hardware, lighting fixtures and furniture details.
Maintain a consistent installation height and symmetrical arrangement of elements.

Surface-mounted installation method

The surface-mounted socket is installed on the wall surface or into a compatible frame. It does not require a standard recessed mounting box, making it suitable for openly routed electrical installations and for locations where walls cannot or should not be chased.

This type of installation is particularly relevant for log houses, historic buildings, brick or concrete walls, workshops and lofts where cables are intentionally left visible.

Mounting surface:
The wall or other structure must be flat, stable and suitable for the selected mounting hardware. Screws and wall plugs must be selected according to the specific wall material.

Heat-resistant thermoplastic housing

The socket housing is made of a thermoplastic material described as heat-resistant. The plastic construction is electrically insulating and allows the classic round housing shape to be formed.

Heat-resistant plastic helps the housing maintain its shape under normal electrical installation operating conditions. However, the socket must not be installed near open flames, stoves, hot pipes or other strong heat sources.

IP20 protection rating

IP20 means that the housing provides basic protection against contact with hazardous internal parts and the ingress of larger solid objects. Protection against water is not provided.

For this reason, the socket is intended for installation in dry residential, administrative and commercial indoor areas.

Unsuitable installation locations:
Outdoors, open terraces, bathrooms or shower areas, saunas, unheated damp basements and other locations where exposure to water or condensation is possible.

Compact dimensions

The socket housing diameter is 62 mm, while the height from the mounting surface is 47 mm. The round shape allows the socket to be aesthetically combined with other retro installation elements of a similar design.

Before installation, not only the housing diameter but also the cable entry direction, mounting hole locations and the space required for connecting the conductors must be taken into account.

Installation procedure

Disconnect the power supply. Check that there is no voltage in the circuit.
Select the installation location. The socket must be installed in a dry and easily accessible location.
Check the mounting surface. Select screws and wall plugs suitable for the wall material.
Mark the mounting holes.
Prepare the cable entry. Cables must not be pinched or damaged by the housing edges.
Secure the socket base. Do not overtighten the mounting elements of the plastic housing.
Connect the conductors. Follow the socket terminal markings and the electrical installation diagram.
Check that the terminals are properly tightened.
Install the outer housing section.
Switch on the power and check operation. The inspection must be carried out by a qualified specialist.

Electrical safety:
Socket installation, connection and inspection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. An incorrectly connected socket may cause electric shock, overheating of contacts or fire.

Use and safety recommendations

Use only in dry indoor areas.
Do not exceed the socket's specified rated current and voltage.
Do not use a damaged, cracked or deformed socket.
Do not allow water, steam or condensation to enter the housing.
Do not install near strong heat sources.
Do not overload the socket with high-power appliances.
Periodically check that the housing and mounting elements have not become loose.
