The unswitched design provides permanent power to the outlet without a rocker switch, making it suitable for dedicated appliances or installations where switching is handled by a fused spur or external control. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, leaving no visible fixings on the wall once fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, office and hospitality installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and projects just 4.3mm from the wall when installed, sitting almost flush to the surface. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W. The socket meets BS 1363-2 standards and carries Class I earth protection with an IP20 rating for indoor use in dry locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish is produced on premium-grade steel with a directional grain that diffuses reflections and fingerprints more evenly than polished chrome. The black insert behind the faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and defines the outlet aperture cleanly. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year warranty, reflecting the build quality and durability of the premium steel construction and long-life terminals.\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\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

This is useful for appliances that need constant power (freezers, network equipment, alarm clocks) or where switching is controlled by a fused connection unit or external timer. If you need a switched socket, Knightsbridge produces a switched version in the same finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat back box depth is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation.
