Description

The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket features a screwless antique brass faceplate made from 201 stainless steel with a brushed antique brass finish. The double-pole switch isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances. The socket insert sits behind the metal plate and is concealed once a plug is inserted, creating a cleaner visual than traditional faceplates where the insert remains visible.

Designed for residential and hospitality installation, the socket suits bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and offices where the warmer tones of antique brass complement traditional, country-house and warm-toned contemporary interiors. The 87.5mm square faceplate fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a screwless cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, meaning there are no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed. The integrated gasket between the plate and the wall creates a flush fit that minimises dust ingress.

The antique brass finish provides a warm metallic accent that develops a deeper patina over time, particularly where the plate is handled frequently. The 201 stainless steel construction gives corrosion resistance and durability, with a 4.3mm plate thickness that resists warping during installation. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year guarantee and BS 1363-2 certification for mains wiring compatibility.

Frequently Asked

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The total depth from the wall surface including the screwless cover plate is 31.7mm, with 9.4mm projecting from the wall and 22.3mm recessed into the back box.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The antique brass cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the socket and re-clipped without re-wiring. The integrated gasket ensures a flush fit when refitted.

What does double-pole switching mean?

Double-pole (DP) switching isolates both the live and neutral conductors when the switch is turned off, rather than just the live conductor. This provides additional safety when disconnecting high-draw appliances or when isolating a circuit for maintenance.

Will the antique brass finish tarnish?

Antique brass develops a deeper patina over time, particularly where the plate is handled frequently. This is a characteristic of the finish. The 201 stainless steel base provides corrosion resistance, and the brass finish can be cleaned gently with a dry microfibre cloth to maintain its appearance.
