This socket is fitted with double pole switches rated at 13A, ensuring safety and reliability. The design incorporates twin earth terminals, ensuring compliance with BS 7671:2008 regulation 543-7, making it ideal for installations that require adherence to stringent safety standards.

The installation process is straightforward; the metal front cover clips securely onto the main body, which is traditionally fitted to a backbox with a minimum mounting depth of 25mm. Replacement screws are provided for secure fitting of the front cover—these should be used in place of existing screws as these are typically dome-headed and can impede the proper fitting of the cover. For those requiring longer screws, these can be sourced separately.
