The unswitched configuration provides a permanent live connection suitable for appliances that remain plugged in continuously, such as white goods, server equipment or fixed installations where the power control happens at the appliance itself rather than the wall outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and commercial installation, the socket uses a screwless flat plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to a standard 25mm minimum back box. The smoked bronze finish is a warm metallic tone darker than polished brass but lighter than gunmetal, with a subtle sheen that reads as bronze under most lighting conditions. The black insert behind the faceplate conceals the back of the cover plate and defines the outlet aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket is manufactured from premium-grade steel and certified to BS 1363-2, handling standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W at 230V. The 4.3mm projection from the wall gives a low-profile finish once installed, and a built-in gasket between the faceplate and wall surface improves the seal against dust ingress. The smoked bronze finish pairs well with warm-toned interiors, industrial aesthetics and heritage restoration projects where darker metallics are specified.\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.
