{"product_id":"13a-1-gang-unswitched-socket-white-square-edge","title":"13A 1 Gang Unswitched Socket - White Square Edge","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang unswitched socket delivers a single 13A outlet behind a white 9mm thermoset resin square edge plate. The socket is unswitched, meaning power is always live to the outlet unless isolated at the consumer unit or a separate switched fused spur. This makes it suited to installations where the appliance has its own on\/off control or where a permanent live feed is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial, education, healthcare and residential installations, the socket carries anti-microbial treatment tested to ISO 22196:2011, inhibiting bacterial growth on the plate surface. This makes it particularly suited to high-touch areas like schools, hospitals, office kitchens, care facilities and communal workspaces where hygiene is a priority. The 86mm x 86mm plate fits a standard UK single-gang 25mm minimum back box and the screw cap covers conceal fixings once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white thermoset resin construction resists impact, heat and UV degradation better than standard thermoplastics, maintaining colour and structural integrity over time. The square edge profile sits flush to the wall without a bevelled surround, giving a contemporary finish that pairs cleanly with modern interiors. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year warranty, reflecting the durability of the thermoset material and internal components.\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\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

There is no on\/off switch on the faceplate itself. Power is controlled either by the appliance plugged into it or by isolation at the consumer unit or a separate fused spur. This configuration is common for appliances that manage their own power state, or where a constant supply is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the anti-microbial properties?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate surface carries anti-microbial treatment tested to ISO 22196:2011, which inhibits the growth of bacteria on the surface. This does not replace cleaning but reduces bacterial colonisation between cleaning cycles, making the socket suited to healthcare, education and food preparation environments.\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. The 9mm plate adds projection from the wall once fitted, giving a total surface-to-back depth of approximately 34mm including the socket mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The IP20 rating means the socket is designed for dry indoor locations only.
