Full Description:
In the humid and often wet environment of Malaysian households—especially in high-moisture areas like bathrooms and laundry yards—electrical safety is paramount. The IMITOS HM-186 Splash Proof Cover is engineered to bridge the gap between standard indoor fittings and the need for enhanced environmental protection.
Built from high-quality, impact-resistant polycarbonate, this cover is designed to withstand the daily rigors of a busy household. Whether you are dealing with steam in a hot shower or accidental splashes near the kitchen sink, the HM-186 ensures your electrical points remain dry and functional
Technical Excellence:
The IP65 Advantage The standout feature of the IMITOS HM-186 is its IP65 Ingress Protection rating. But what does this mean for the user?
- Dust Tight (6): Complete protection against dust contact and ingress.
- Water Jet Protection (5): Protection against low-pressure water streams from any angle. Unlike standard "water-resistant" covers, an IP65 rating provides a much higher seal integrity, ensuring that even direct splashes won't compromise the internal wiring of your switches.
Aesthetic Versatility
We understand that home décor matters. The HM-186 is not just functional; it is designed to blend seamlessly with modern interior designs. It comes in three distinct finishes:
- Transparent: Perfect for those who want to see the original switch design clearly.
- Smoke: Adds a touch of modern, tinted sophistication, ideal for dark-themed walls.
- White: A classic, clean look that matches most standard Malaysian wall plates.
Installation and Compatibility
The IMITOS HM-186 is designed for universal compatibility. With a standard 86mm × 86mm dimension, it fits almost all single-gang switches, doorbells, and socket outlets commonly used in Malaysia (Type G sockets). The installation process is straightforward, often requiring only basic tools to secure the cover over the existing mounting box, providing an instant safety upgrade without the need for extensive rewiring.

Frequently Asked Questions for IMITOS Splash Proof Cover Smoke,White,Transparent - HM-186 IP65
Yes. The IMITOS HM-186 is designed with a universal 86x86mm dimension, which is the standard size for single-gang light switches, doorbells, and typical 13A wall socket plates used throughout Malaysia.
The IMITOS HM-186 is highly rated at IP65, making it excellent for semi-outdoor areas like balconies, porches, or carports. However, for fully open garden areas exposed to heavy, torrential Malaysian downpours, an IP66 or fully sealed weatherproof box is recommended.
No. The HM-186 is made from high-grade UV-stabilized polycarbonate material. It resists ultraviolet degradation, ensuring that the transparent and smoke finishes remain clear without yellowing or turning brittle.
Absolutely. Bathroom water heater switches are highly susceptible to steam and moisture damage. Installing the IMITOS HM-186 provides an immediate physical barrier, preventing condensation from shorting the high-voltage circuit.
The HM-186 is primarily optimized as a flip-down cover for switches or un-plugged sockets. If you keep a bulky 3-pin plug permanently attached, the flap will remain slightly propped open, reducing its IP65 splash-proof capabilities.
Original IMITOS products, including the HM-186 model, are widely available through certified local electrical hardware suppliers in Selangor/KL, as well as official online e-commerce stores on Shopee Malaysia and Lazada.
