Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket combines a white thermoset resin faceplate with a 7mm rounded contour edge and screw cap covers that hide the fixing screws once installed. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for appliances and equipment up to 3,120W.
Designed for residential, commercial and healthcare installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and carries anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011. The anti-microbial treatment reduces bacterial growth on the surface, making the socket particularly suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, care homes and clinical environments where hygiene standards are critical.
The 86mm square faceplate projection is 7mm from the wall surface once fitted, giving a low-profile finish that sits close to the wall without projecting significantly into the room. The white finish pairs with standard white walls and woodwork across residential and commercial interiors, and the rounded edge reduces the visual sharpness of the plate corners compared to square-edge variants.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The faceplate adds 7mm projection from the wall once fitted.
What is the anti-microbial protection?
The thermoset resin faceplate has been treated with an anti-microbial agent tested to ISO 22196:2011, which reduces bacterial growth on the surface. This makes the socket suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, care homes and healthcare environments where hygiene is critical.
What does DP switching mean?
DP (double-pole) switching isolates both the live and neutral lines when the switch is in the off position, providing additional safety compared to single-pole switches which only isolate the live line. This is particularly useful for appliances and equipment that remain plugged in when not in use.
What are the screw cap covers?
The screw cap covers clip over the fixing screws once the faceplate is installed, hiding the screw heads and giving a cleaner finish. They can be removed for access to the screws when maintenance or removal is needed.
