Code: GWN240PC01Surface-mounted waterproof 2-gang socket outlet with covers, designed for safe connection of electrical devices in areas where moisture, dust, or increased environmental load may be present. Thanks to its IP44 protection rating, the socket is protected against solid particles and water splashes, making it suitable for use in garages, warehouses, laundry rooms, technical rooms, food production areas, and certain outdoor locations under a canopy.
The socket is installed as a surface-mounted unit, so it does not need to be recessed into the wall. This is a convenient solution both for new electrical installations and for adding an extra power point in existing premises.

Description: Surface-mounted electrical installation refers to the method where electrical wires, switches, and other components are installed on the surface of walls, ceilings, or floors. This installation type is commonly used when a quick and easily accessible electrical solution is required, or when it is not possible to embed the wires within the walls. It is particularly suited for industrial, commercial spaces, or older buildings.Application Areas:
Industrial facilities (factories, warehouses)
Temporary structures and events
Older buildings where embedding wires inside walls is not feasible
Garages, workshops, and technical rooms
Key Advantages:Easy and fast installation without major renovation work
Convenient for repairs or changes to the electrical setup
Allows for easy addition of new electrical circuits or devices later
2. Flush-Mounted Electrical Installation
Description: Flush-mounted electrical installation is a more popular choice for modern residential and commercial spaces. Its main advantage is that all wires and switches are installed inside the walls, floors, or ceilings, ensuring a neat appearance and reducing physical access to the installation. This type of installation is a long-term, safe solution ideal for contemporary environments.Application Areas:
New or renovated residential homes
Offices, shopping centers, and commercial buildings
Spaces where aesthetic appeal is important, and wires or other components need to be hidden
Key Advantages:Provides a clean and aesthetic look without visible wires
Protects the installation from external damage
Offers more safety as wires and switches are hidden inside the walls
