{"product_id":"13a-1-gang-dp-switched-socket-antique-brass-screwless","title":"13A 1 Gang DP Switched Socket - Antique Brass Screwless","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.7mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.3mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

This is a characteristic of the finish.
