A geyser power socket outlet in architecture refers to a dedicated electrical outlet designed specifically for connecting a water heater (geyser). It is typically a high-capacity power outlet, often rated at 15A or 20A, to handle the significant electrical load required by the appliance.
These outlets are usually positioned near the geyser unit in bathrooms or kitchens, following safety regulations that ensure protection against moisture and overheating. They are often equipped with isolator switches or MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) to allow for easy disconnection and enhance electrical safety.
Proper placement and installation of a geyser power socket are crucial in ensuring both functional efficiency and compliance with building codes, preventing electrical hazards such as short circuits or overheating.

A geyser power socket outlet detail drawing in construction typically includes:
- Electrical Specifications: Indicating voltage (e.g., 230V), current rating (15A or 20A), and wiring requirements.
- Placement & Height: Usually installed at a safe height (typically 1.5m to 1.8m from the floor) and within reachable distance from the geyser but outside direct water exposure.
- Safety Features: Includes an isolator switch (double-pole switch) near the outlet for easy power disconnection.
- Conduit & Wiring: The outlet should be connected using heat-resistant and moisture-proof wiring, enclosed in PVC conduit or metal casing for added protection.
- Mounting Details: The socket should be securely fastened on a fire-resistant backboard or wall panel with proper insulation to avoid electrical hazards.
