Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang SP switched socket adds two USB-A charging ports behind a brushed chrome screwless faceplate with a black insert. The single-pole switching isolates the live line when the socket is switched off, suitable for standard household appliances and electronics up to 13A (3,120W).
Designed for residential installation in kitchens, bedrooms, home offices and living areas, the socket fits back boxes with 25-35mm minimum depth depending on wiring configuration. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, so there are no visible fixings on the wall once installed. A built-in gasket seals the gap between the faceplate and the wall, creating a flush finish that sits 4.3mm proud of the plasterwork.
The dual USB-A ports share a 5V DC 2.4A output, suitable for charging phones, tablets, e-readers and other devices without requiring a separate wall adapter. The brushed chrome finish provides a mid-tone metallic accent that works across both contemporary and transitional interiors, while the black insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover and defines the edge of each outlet aperture. The construction uses premium-grade steel throughout and carries IP20 ingress protection, standard for UK indoor electrical accessories.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25-35mm minimum back box depth is needed, depending on the wiring configuration. The 4.3mm projection of the screwless faceplate adds minimal protrusion from the wall once fitted.
What's the USB charging output?
The dual USB-A ports share a 5V DC 2.4A output. This is sufficient for charging phones, tablets and most portable devices, though fast-charge protocols requiring higher wattage are not supported on this model.
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 other finishes are available in this range?
Knightsbridge produces this socket style in polished chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
