115/230V Dual Voltage Shaver Socket - Polished Chrome White Insert Flat Plate

This Knightsbridge dual voltage shaver socket provides both 115V and 230V outputs at 20VA through a polished chrome flat plate with a white insert. The socket is certified to EN 61558 and carries an IP41 rating through a built-in gasket, making it suitable for bathroom zones where shaver sockets are permitted under UK wiring regulations.

Designed for installation in bathrooms, en-suites and hotel guest rooms, the socket accepts standard 2-pin shaver plugs from both UK and international grooming devices. The dual voltage switching allows users to select the correct voltage for their device without needing a separate transformer. The flat plate construction projects only 2.5mm from the wall once fitted to a 47mm minimum depth back box, giving a low-profile finish that works in tiled and plastered bathroom walls.

The polished chrome finish provides a reflective metallic surface that pairs with chrome taps, towel rails and other bathroom fittings. The white insert behind the chrome faceplate defines the socket apertures and voltage labels. The premium-grade steel construction and 25-year warranty indicate a product designed for long-term installation in moisture-prone environments.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What zones can this shaver socket be installed in?

The IP41 rating allows installation in bathroom Zone 2 and outside zones, subject to UK wiring regulations (BS 7671). It cannot be installed within Zone 0 or Zone 1 (the shower enclosure or directly above a bath). Consult a qualified electrician to confirm placement in your specific bathroom layout.

What devices does it support?

The socket accepts standard 2-pin shaver plugs and provides both 115V and 230V outputs at 20VA. This covers electric shavers, electric toothbrushes and small grooming devices from UK and international manufacturers. It does not support high-draw devices like hairdryers.

How is the voltage selected?

The user plugs into the socket marked with the correct voltage for their device (115V or 230V). There is no automatic voltage detection — the device must be plugged into the correct outlet to avoid damage.

What back box depth is required?

A 47mm minimum back box depth is needed. The flat plate projects only 2.5mm from the wall once installed, giving a low-profile finish suitable for tiled surfaces.
