The double-pole switch isolates both live and neutral conductors when turned off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for appliances that draw higher loads or remain plugged in long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and light commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses premium-grade steel construction with a Class I earth terminal. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 2,990W. The rounded edge profile offers a softer visual alternative to square-edged plates in contemporary and transitional interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome finish provides a bright, reflective surface that pairs well with chrome taps, door handles and light fittings in kitchens, bathrooms (subject to zone restrictions) and living areas. The black insert behind the faceplate conceals the back of the outlet aperture, creating a defined edge around the plug point. The rocker switch is metal rather than plastic, matching the faceplate finish. 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\u003e85.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85.75 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.
