Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang SP switched socket integrates two USB-A charging ports behind a brushed chrome screwless faceplate with a grey insert. The dual USB ports share a 5V DC 2.4A output, allowing simultaneous charging of two devices without occupying the mains outlet. Single-pole switching isolates the live conductor when the socket is switched off, suitable for standard appliances up to 3,120W.
Designed for bedside tables, kitchen worktops, home offices and hospitality installations, the socket provides accessible charging without requiring separate plug-in adapters. The screwless faceplate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, meaning no visible screws or fixings appear on the wall once installed. The integrated gasket between the faceplate and wall provides a gap-free finish that prevents dust ingress behind the plate.
The brushed chrome finish is a fine directional brushing applied to 201 stainless steel, giving a cooler metallic tone that pairs with contemporary, industrial and minimalist interiors. The grey insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and defines the socket aperture. The 87.5mm square plate is slightly larger than a traditional UK socket, accommodating the USB ports without increasing projection from the wall beyond 9.6mm. The socket requires a mounting box depth between 25-35mm depending on wiring conditions.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A mounting box depth between 25-35mm is needed, depending on the volume of cable and terminal connections behind the socket. The 25mm minimum assumes tidy wiring; bulkier connections may require closer to 35mm.
What's the USB charging output?
The two USB-A ports share a 5V DC 2.4A output. When charging two devices simultaneously, the available current is split between them. For fastest charging of a single device, use only one USB port.
Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?
Yes. The brushed chrome 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.
