13A 2 Gang DP Switched Socket Twin Earth - Brushed Chrome Screwless (Black Insert)

The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang DP switched socket provides two independently switched 13A outlets with twin earth terminals behind a brushed chrome screwless faceplate with black insert. The double-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. Twin earth terminals allow for high-integrity earthing connections where required by installation standards.

Designed for residential, hospitality and office installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a screwless cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame. This means there are no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates. The 4.3mm projection keeps the faceplate low-profile against the wall surface. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.

The brushed chrome finish provides a neutral metallic accent that pairs well with contemporary, industrial and minimalist interiors. The black insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. The premium-grade steel construction and IP20 rating suit dry indoor environments including living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and offices where splashing or moisture ingress is not a factor.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

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, making the total depth from the wall surface approximately 29mm.

What are twin earth terminals?

Twin earth terminals provide two separate earthing connection points within the socket back box. This allows for high-integrity earthing where installation standards require a continuous earth run between multiple outlets or where the earthing conductor is looped rather than radial.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The 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. The built-in gasket on the sub-frame helps create a flush finish against the wall.

What other finishes are available in this range?

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