Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket combines a polished brass screwless faceplate with a white insert behind the outlet aperture. The double-pole switch isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances.
Designed for residential and office 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. This means there are no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.
The polished brass finish provides a warm metallic accent that pairs well with traditional, classical and warm-toned contemporary interiors. The white insert behind the brass faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to the outlet aperture. At 4.3mm projection from the wall, the ultra-flat profile sits close to the surface without protruding into the room space. The plate measures 87.5mm square and carries an IP20 rating for dry indoor use.
Constructed from premium-grade steel with a polished brass coating, the socket includes twin earth terminals for flexible wiring configurations and carries BS 1363:2 certification. Knightsbridge backs the socket with a 25-year warranty, covering material and manufacturing defects over the life of the installation.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds approximately 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted, making this one of the lowest-profile sockets in the Knightsbridge range.
Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?
Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the socket and re-clipped without re-wiring.
What does the 25-year warranty cover?
The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects over the life of the installation. It does not cover damage from misuse, incorrect installation, or normal wear to the polished finish over time.
