Description

This Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang unswitched socket features an anthracite screwless faceplate with a black insert, mounted on premium-grade steel. The unswitched configuration provides a permanently live outlet for appliances that need constant power, such as fridge-freezers, washing machines or network equipment. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, giving a flat surface with no visible fixings.

Designed for residential and commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and complies with BS 1363-2 for UK mains installations. The 13A rating handles loads up to 3,000W per outlet. The built-in gasket between the faceplate and wall helps close minor gaps against uneven surfaces, reducing light bleed around the edges when installed on partition walls or freshly plastered surfaces.

The anthracite finish is a mid-grey with subtle metallic undertones, sitting between matt black and polished chrome in visual weight. It pairs well with contemporary, industrial and monochrome interiors, and the black insert behind the faceplate gives a defined edge to the outlet aperture. The premium steel construction and 25-year warranty indicate build quality suitable for high-traffic commercial environments as well as residential use.

Frequently Asked

What does unswitched mean?

An unswitched socket provides a permanently live outlet with no on/off switch. This configuration suits appliances that need constant power, such as fridge-freezers, network routers, or washing machines in utility rooms.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The anthracite 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 back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this screwless style in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
