The double pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, making it suitable for high-draw circuits such as bathroom extractor fans, towel radiators, and dual-circuit lighting control where full isolation is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and light commercial installation, the switch fits a 16mm minimum back box depth and includes a built-in gasket around the plate perimeter that sits flush against the wall surface. The 10AX rating handles loads up to 2,300W on 230V, exceeding the capacity of standard 6A lighting switches and providing headroom for appliances, fans and multi-bulb circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish on the 304 stainless steel plate provides a mid-tone metallic surface that minimises fingerprint visibility and pairs well with chrome tapware, handles and other metal fixtures in bathrooms, kitchens and contemporary interiors. The rounded edge profile softens the transition between wall and plate, giving a more refined finish than square-edge alternatives.\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\u003e85.75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85.75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.16mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.89mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
