Splash-proof socket with grounding IP-44, current path shutters, transparent cover - SILVER IMPRESJA GPH-1YZP/M/18/D

Socket for wet areas with shock protection

This socket is designed for environments where water and dust are everyday realities — bathrooms, kitchens, basements, or utility rooms. The IP44 protection rating is not just a number on the packaging: it means internal components are effectively protected against water splashes from any direction and constant dust exposure. You don’t need to worry about short circuits when cleaning the floor or accidentally spilling water — the design works reliably.

The current channel shutters act as a physical barrier: they prevent accidental contact with live conductors, even if someone inserts a key or screwdriver. This is an additional layer of safety that operates passively — requiring no electronics or batteries. The transparent cover doesn’t just seal the opening — it also allows you to see whether a plug is inserted, making it easy to check device operation without opening the cover.

Threaded terminals are not merely “better than screw terminals” — they are superior. They maintain consistent, unchanging pressure on the cable, even after numerous installation and removal cycles. There’s no need to worry about loose connections or overheating. The same applies to the material: the specially formulated plastic with anti-static and UV-stabilizing additives does not yellow, crack, or fade, even after years of exposure to sunlight or chemical cleaning.

Design and installation — for both installer and user

The metal frame in silver finish (brushed aluminum) is not only modern in appearance — it serves a functional purpose: it dissipates heat generated by current flow and prevents overheating of the fitting under prolonged load. Surface mounting is standard, but here it’s engineered to fit both old and new installations — the clips and screws function smoothly even through thick plaster layers.

Dimensions of 71×71 mm allow installation in multi-gang frames from the Impresja series — you can mount this socket alongside a switch, motion sensor, or USB port without breaking the wall. No need to buy separate enclosures — everything fits together like LEGO bricks.

Why it works:

• 16A / 250V meets the standard for household appliances with motors — refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, or fans won’t trigger false trips.
• Schuko grounding ensures protection against casing short circuits — meaning if a device fails, current safely drains to earth.
• Transparent cover doesn’t just protect — it lets you monitor socket status without opening it.
• No backlighting is a deliberate choice: no unnecessary LEDs that could disturb sleep or create a “night light” effect in the bathroom.
• Materials: Metal + high-quality plastic = resistance to mechanical and chemical damage.

This is not just an “aesthetic socket.” It’s a socket engineered to operate safely for 10 years — even if no one ever sees it.
