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.Product type

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.
