Splash-proof socket with grounding Schuko IP-44, transparent lid - ANTHRACITE GPH-1YS/M/50/D

Socket that stays secure in damp environments

This is not just any socket – it’s a solution engineered for locations where water, dust, or steam could compromise installation safety. The IP44 protection rating means it’s resistant to water splashes from any direction and to solid objects larger than 1 mm in diameter – such as kitchen dust, bathroom droplets, or shower spray. The transparent cover not only prevents external access but also allows quick visual inspection of terminal status without opening the housing – invaluable during servicing or inspections.

Threaded terminals are not just about aesthetics – they provide a solid, long-lasting connection without frequent use of screwdrivers. In practice: reduced risk of wire loosening over time, fewer failures, and easier installation even with thicker cables. Rated for 16A current and 250V voltage, this socket handles high-power devices – from hair dryers to induction cooktops and washing machines.

Design that delivers

The housing combines plastic and metal – not only for durability, but also to prevent overheating during prolonged use. The anthracite frame is not just an aesthetic choice – this shade harmonizes seamlessly with modern walls, concrete, metal elements, and even dark furniture. It doesn’t stand out, yet it doesn’t disappear – becoming a natural part of the interior without requiring a complete design overhaul.

Surface-mounted installation is standard for new installations and renovations – no additional boxes or wall modifications needed. Clips and screws ensure stability even with heavy devices plugged into the socket. Dimensions of 71x71 mm strike a balance between compactness and convenience – it doesn’t take up much space, yet provides ample room for a Schuko plug.

Why it works

• Threaded terminals → less installation effort, longer connection lifespan
• Transparent cover → quick inspection without disassembly, no need to open the housing
• IP44 → safe for use in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, or outdoors (under a canopy)
• Anthracite color → neutral for modern and industrial interiors; doesn’t yellow like white
• Grounding → protection against electric shock in case of device failure – required by standards for wet zones

You don’t need specialized hardware for the bathroom – this socket does the job better than many more expensive models. And you don’t need to worry about its appearance: if the wall is dark, it matches. If it’s light, it still matches. It doesn’t draw attention, yet it doesn’t look like something “stuck on.”
