The flat plate design uses premium-grade steel pressed into a single 87.5mm square faceplate with rounded corners, creating an ultra-low profile that sits almost flush with the wall surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a gasket seal between the plate and the wall to prevent gaps. 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. The matching metal rocker switch sits within the chrome faceplate rather than behind it, maintaining the flat aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome finish provides a mirror-like reflective surface that catches and redirects light, adding brightness to hallways, kitchens and living spaces. The black insert behind the chrome plate hides the back of the faceplate and provides contrast around the outlet aperture. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 2,990W. IP20-rated for indoor dry locations, the socket carries a 25-year warranty and meets BS 1363-2 standards.\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\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
