The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole designs for high-draw appliances and white goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a screwless cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame. The brushed chrome finish provides a mid-tone metallic surface that pairs comfortably with both warm and cool interior palettes, while the 87.5mm square faceplate matches standard UK wiring accessory sizing. Twin earth terminals simplify the connection of multiple earth conductors during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grey insert sits behind the faceplate and becomes visible only when the socket is in use — when no plug is connected, the brushed chrome surface dominates. The premium-grade steel construction and 25-year warranty reflect Knightsbridge's positioning as a trade-grade electrical accessory manufacturer rather than a consumer decorative brand.\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\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
