The white thermoset resin faceplate has a 9mm square edge profile with a built-in gasket and anti-microbial surface protection tested to ISO 22196:2011, making it suitable for commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, schools and other high-traffic or hygiene-critical environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances and equipment. The twin earth terminals allow two earth cables to be connected to a single socket, supporting high-integrity earthing configurations commonly required in commercial installations, IT environments and installations with metal-clad accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses top-access captive terminals that allow cables to be inserted and secured without removing the faceplate from the wall, speeding up installation and maintenance. The square edge design sits flush with the wall surface with no visible gap between plate edge and wall, giving a clean finish on plastered and drywalled surfaces. The 13A rating handles standard appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year warranty.\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\u003e146 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.
