The double-pole switch isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances like kettles, irons and heaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and light commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses premium-grade steel construction for durability. The rounded-edge profile softens the visual impact of the faceplate against the wall, making it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and home offices where a contemporary metal finish is preferred over traditional white plastic. The brushed finish on the chrome reduces fingerprint visibility and glare compared to polished chrome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grey insert sits behind the faceplate and frames the outlet aperture, giving a defined edge to the plug socket once installed. The metal rocker switch matches the brushed chrome finish and sits flush with the faceplate when in the off position. The socket carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty and an IP20 rating, indicating it's suitable for dry indoor environments but not for bathrooms or outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003e85.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
