The white surface-mounted retro-style electrical socket is designed for exposed surface wiring in residential, commercial, and historic indoor spaces. Its classic round design complements retro, loft, rustic, and vintage-style interiors. The socket is made of heat-resistant thermoplastic and is rated for 250 V AC and 16 A. Surface mounting allows it to be easily installed on a wall, while the IP20 protection rating means that the product is suitable for use only in dry indoor areas.

Product description

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

Surface-mounted retro-style electrical socket is intended for electrical installations where the socket is mounted directly on the wall surface or on a compatible frame without being recessed into a flush-mounted installation box. The white round housing and classic shape can be matched with retro, loft, rustic, industrial or historical interior elements.

The socket can be used in restored manor houses, country homes, period-style residential interiors, modern lofts, hotels, restaurants, workshops and other spaces where the electrical installation is not only functional but also a visible interior feature.

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 because its protection rating is IP20.

Surface-mounted installation:
The socket is fixed directly to the wall or installed in a compatible frame. This solution is especially suitable for exposed retro- or loft-style installations where cables are routed along the surface in decorative conduits or cable trunking.

For use in dry indoor areas only:
The IP20 protection rating does not provide protection against water or increased humidity. The socket must not be installed outdoors, in wet bathroom zones, saunas or other areas where it may be exposed directly to water, condensation or steam.

Retro and loft-style design

The round shape of the socket and its surface-mounted installation method resemble traditional exposed electrical wiring used in older residential and utility buildings. This makes the product suitable for interiors designed to preserve a historical, industrial or rustic character.

The white housing can be combined with light-coloured walls, wooden panelling, white or light-coloured cable conduits, classic switches and other retro-style installation components.

Interior matching recommendations:

Combine with surface-mounted switches in the same colour.
Use matching decorative cable conduits or cable clips.
Coordinate with door hardware, light fittings and furniture details.
Maintain a consistent mounting height and a symmetrical arrangement of components.

Surface-mounted installation

The surface-mounted socket is installed on the wall surface or in a compatible frame. It does not require a standard flush-mounted box, making it suitable for exposed wiring and for locations where walls cannot or should not be chased.

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

Mounting surface:
The wall or other supporting structure must be even, stable and suitable for the selected fixing elements. Mounting screws and wall plugs must be chosen 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 non-conductive and allows the classic round housing shape to be formed.

Heat-resistant plastic helps the housing retain 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. No protection against water is provided.

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

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

Compact dimensions

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

Before installation, consider not only the housing diameter but also the cable entry direction, the position of the mounting holes and the space required for connecting conductors.

Installation procedure

Disconnect the power supply. Verify that the circuit is de-energised.
Select the installation location. The socket must be installed in a dry and easily accessible location.
Check the wall surface. Select screws and wall plugs suitable for the wall material.
Mark the mounting holes.
Prepare the cable entry. The cables must not be pinched or damaged by the edges of the housing.
Secure the socket base. Do not overtighten the fixing elements of the plastic housing.
Connect the conductors. Follow the socket terminal markings and the electrical wiring diagram.
Check that the terminals are properly tightened.
Install the outer housing.
Restore the power supply and check operation. The check must be performed by a qualified specialist.

Electrical safety:
The socket must be installed, connected and tested by a qualified electrician. An incorrectly connected socket may cause electric shock, overheating of the contacts or fire.

Use and safety recommendations

Use only in dry indoor areas.
Do not exceed the approved rated current or voltage of the socket.
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 fixing elements have not become loose.
Disconnect the power supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
