Description

The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket features a black nickel screwless faceplate with a black insert, providing a single 13A outlet with double-pole switching. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate steel sub-frame, leaving no visible fixings on the wall once installed. The black nickel finish is applied to premium-grade steel, giving the plate durability and a dark, reflective metallic tone.

Designed for residential, hospitality and commercial installation where a darker metallic accent is needed, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses twin earth terminals for straightforward wiring. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 2,990W per outlet.

The black nickel finish sits between gunmetal and polished chrome in appearance, offering a darker metallic accent that pairs with contemporary, industrial and monochrome interiors. The black insert behind the faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to the outlet aperture. The 4.3mm projection from the wall keeps the socket low-profile once fitted, and a built-in gasket between the plate and the wall provides a clean junction line. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year warranty.

Frequently Asked

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted, giving a combined depth of approximately 29.3mm from the wall surface.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate steel sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the socket and re-clipped without re-wiring.

What does double-pole switching mean?

Double-pole (DP) switching isolates both the live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching which only isolates the live. This is particularly useful for high-draw appliances like washing machines or dishwashers.

What other finishes are available?

Knightsbridge produces this style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
