The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is turned off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers and kettles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses screw terminals for connection. The rounded edge profile softens the faceplate geometry compared to flat or squared designs, making the socket suitable for period properties, boutique hotel rooms and residential interiors where sharp angles are less appropriate. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt black finish is applied to premium-grade steel, giving the faceplate a low-sheen surface that resists fingerprints and minimises reflections under artificial light. The black insert behind the faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a clean edge to the outlet aperture. The built-in gasket reduces dust ingress and provides a flush seal against the wall when fitted. The socket carries BS 1363:2 certification and a 25-year manufacturer 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\u003e87.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.75 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.
