Protection against moisture and water penetration
The chapter “Gira water-protected” covers design lines that are suitable for use
in water-protected, flush-mounted and surface-mounted installations both indoors and
outdoors. Depending on the requirements, switches, buttons and SCHUKO socket
outlets with protection types IP44 (protected against splash water) or IP66 (protected
against water jets) are available.
Protection against splash water (IP44)
IP44 stands for safe protection against solid particles such as rough
sand and against splash water. It is a minimum requirement for
outdoor use. Gira design lines that are equipped with this
protection are especially suitable for damp rooms,
e. g. bathrooms and areas that are exposed to the weather, such
as cellars or garages.
Protection against powerful water jets (IP66)
Gira design lines that have the IP66 rating provide absolute
protection against dust and strong jets of water. Thanks to their
imperviousness, they are ideal for harsh applications and their
robust material quality, which offers protection against chemicals
and vandalism, makes them the perfect choice for
use in cellars, garages, workshops and industry.
Integration into Gira energy profile and light profiles
for outdoor use
The Gira energy profile extends the outdoor electrical
installation. The housing, cover, and base are made of robust,
weather-resistant aluminium with a scratch-resistant, dirt-resistant
surface. The Gira energy profile with empty units can be equipped
with the water-protected Gira TX_44 design line
as needed.
