The double pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the switch is off, making it suitable for high-draw fixed appliances including bathroom extractor fans, immersion heaters and water heaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and light commercial installation, the switch fits a standard UK back box with a minimum depth of 16mm. The rounded edge plate includes a built-in gasket that sits flush against the wall, giving a cleaner finish than traditional flat plates and preventing debris or moisture from entering the plate edges. The 10AX rating handles loads up to 2,300W on a 230V supply, which covers most domestic fixed appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt black finish is applied to 304 stainless steel, giving a low-sheen surface that resists fingerprints and minor scratches better than painted or powder-coated finishes. The rounded edge profile projects 11.8mm from the wall once fitted, giving the plate a subtle three-dimensional presence that pairs with both modern matt-black interior schemes and industrial-style spaces. The switch is certified to EN 60669-1 and carries a 25-year manufacturer guarantee.\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\u003eMin.
