The antique brass screwless faceplate clips onto a separate sub-frame, hiding all fixings behind the 87.5mm square plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble pole switching is recommended for appliances where both conductors need to be isolated for maintenance or safety compliance, and is often specified in bathrooms, utility rooms and kitchens where water is present. The 10AX rating handles loads up to 2,300W on 230V mains, making it suitable for most domestic fixed appliances excluding electric cookers and instantaneous water heaters requiring higher-rated isolators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe antique brass finish is a warm, aged metallic tone that sits between polished brass and oil-rubbed bronze, presenting as a soft gold with subtle darkening in the recessed areas. The 201 stainless steel base plate is electroplated to achieve the antique brass appearance, then sealed to resist tarnishing. The screwless design requires a minimum 16mm back box depth and adds 8.4mm wall projection once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

Double pole switches break both live and neutral, providing full isolation of the circuit. DP switching is safer for appliances where both conductors need to be isolated for maintenance, and is often required by building regulations for bathroom installations and high-load appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat back box depth is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum 16mm back box depth is needed.
