Description
The Knightsbridge 10AX 1-gang DP switch provides double pole switching for dual-circuit control behind a matt black screwless faceplate. The 10AX rating handles loads up to 2,300W on 230V mains, making it suitable for bathroom fan boost controls, heater circuits, or any application where both live and neutral lines need to be isolated when switched off.
Designed for residential and commercial installation, the switch fits a shallow 16mm minimum back box depth and uses a screwless cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame. This means there are no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates. The built-in gasket behind the cover plate provides additional moisture resistance, and the IP20 rating confirms suitability for dry indoor environments.
The matt black finish is a low-sheen powder-coated steel that minimises fingerprints and reflections, pairing comfortably with contemporary, industrial and minimalist interiors. The rocker switch sits flush within the plate aperture and matches the matt black finish across the entire faceplate. The switch is certified to EN 60669-1 and carries a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge.

Frequently Asked
What does double pole (DP) switching mean?
Double pole switching isolates both the live and neutral lines when the switch is in the off position, providing additional safety over single-pole switching. This is commonly required for bathroom fan boost controls, heater circuits, and certain appliances where both conductors need to be isolated.
What back box depth is required?
A 16mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds approximately 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted.
Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?
Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the switch and re-clipped without re-wiring.
What other finishes are available in this range?
Knightsbridge produces this style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
