{"product_id":"13a-1-gang-dp-switched-socket-metal-clad","title":"13A 1 Gang DP Switched Socket - Metal Clad","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge MR7000 is a 13A 1-gang DP switched socket housed in a heavy-duty metal clad box with an integral back box. The unit is constructed from powder-coated premium-grade steel, giving it a satin metallic finish and protection against surface wear in commercial, workshop and garage installations where plastic faceplates are vulnerable to impact or heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for surface mounting on walls, workshop benches, commercial kitchens and garage installations, the metal clad box eliminates the need for a separate back box to be recessed into the wall. The socket projects 45mm from the mounting surface and can be fixed directly to brick, blockwork, plasterboard or timber using the knockouts on the rear panel. The dual-pole switch isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing additional safety for high-draw appliances and tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is certified to BS 1363-2 and carries an IP20 rating, making it suitable for dry indoor environments only. The powder-coated steel construction resists scuffing and corrosion better than painted or zinc-plated finishes, and the captive terminals retain fixing screws during wiring to prevent them falling into the box. Knightsbridge backs this fitting with a 25-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium grade steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeon Indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaptive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_2028042_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_1287776.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this require a back box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The metal clad unit includes an integral back box as part of the housing, so it mounts directly to the wall surface without needing a separate recessed back box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used outdoors or in bathrooms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The IP20 rating means this socket is suitable for dry indoor locations only.
