115V/230V Dual Voltage Shaver Socket - Brushed Chrome Square Edge (Grey Insert)

The Knightsbridge CS89BCG is a dual voltage shaver socket providing both 115V and 230V outputs behind a brushed chrome square edge faceplate with a grey insert. The twin voltage support accommodates electric shavers, toothbrushes and other personal grooming devices rated for either UK 230V or international 115V operation, making it suitable for households with imported appliances or frequent international visitors.

Designed for bathroom installation in zones outside the direct spray area, the socket carries an IP20 rating and includes a gasket seal between the faceplate and back box to protect internal components from ambient moisture. The square edge profile sits flush against the wall with 10.5mm projection from the mounting surface, requiring a minimum 47mm back box depth. The brushed chrome finish provides a satin metallic surface that resists fingerprints and water spots better than polished finishes.

The socket is certified to EN 61558 transformer safety standards and includes an earth terminal for additional protection. Knightsbridge manufactures the faceplate from premium grade steel rather than plated plastic, giving the fitting a solid feel and better long-term durability in high-humidity environments. The grey insert behind the chrome faceplate provides contrast around the socket apertures and conceals the back of the cover plate.

Product Manual

Can this be used in a bathroom shower area?

No. The IP20 rating means this socket is suitable for bathroom installation outside the direct spray zones. It should be positioned at least 600mm from a bath or shower enclosure and not in Zone 1 or Zone 2 as defined by UK bathroom electrical regulations.

What devices can be used with the 115V and 230V outputs?

The dual voltage design supports electric shavers and toothbrushes rated for either 115V (common in North American and some Asian markets) or 230V (UK and European standard). Always check the device rating label before use.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum 47mm back box depth is needed for safe installation. The socket faceplate adds 10.5mm projection from the mounting surface once fitted.

Does the socket include a transformer?

Yes. The socket contains an internal transformer certified to EN 61558 that isolates the output from the mains supply and provides both 115V and 230V outputs from a single 230V mains input.
