Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket features a brushed brass faceplate with a black insert and matching metal rocker, set on an ultra-flat 2.5mm profile plate. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral when turned off, providing additional safety for appliances that remain plugged in when not in use.
Designed for residential and hospitality installations where a low-profile fitting is needed, the flat plate sits only 2.5mm proud of the wall surface, reducing projection in rooms where flush-mounted switches and sockets are preferred. The socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and includes concealed fixings behind the faceplate, eliminating visible screws once installed. A built-in gasket creates a seal between the plate and the wall, preventing dust ingress behind the fitting.
The brushed brass finish is applied to premium-grade steel, providing a warm metallic accent that works in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The black insert sits behind the brass plate, framing the outlet aperture and creating contrast against the brushed metal surface. The metal rocker switch matches the brass finish and sits flush with the plate when in the 'on' position, maintaining the clean lines of the ultra-flat design.

Frequently Asked
What does DP switching mean?
DP stands for double-pole. When the switch is turned off, it isolates both the live and neutral conductors, whereas a standard single-pole switch only isolates the live. This provides additional safety when appliances are left plugged in but not in use.
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The flat plate adds only 2.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted, making it one of the lowest-profile socket designs available.
Are the fixings visible?
No. The flat plate uses concealed fixings behind the faceplate, so there are no visible screws or screw heads once the socket is installed. This gives a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates.
What other finishes are available in the flat plate range?
Knightsbridge produces the flat plate range in multiple 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.
