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 up to 3,120W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and office installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a screw-fixed premium grade steel faceplate. The 89mm square dimensions fit standard UK single-gang apertures, and the 10.5mm projection from the wall keeps the socket profile low. The built-in gasket between the faceplate and wall ensures a precise fit against plaster or painted surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish has a directional grain that softens reflections compared to polished chrome, making it less prone to showing fingerprints and suitable for high-traffic areas. The grey insert sits behind the outlet aperture, reducing visual contrast when no plug is connected. The metal rocker switch matches the brushed chrome finish of the faceplate, maintaining a consistent appearance across the entire fitting. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year warranty.\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\u003e89 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
