{"product_id":"13a-2-gang-dp-switched-socket-twin-earth-matt-black-screwless","title":"13A 2 Gang DP Switched Socket Twin Earth - Matt Black Screwless","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang DP switched socket provides two 13A outlets with double-pole switching, twin earth terminals, and a matt black screwless faceplate. 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. The twin earth terminals accommodate installations requiring high-integrity earthing, such as commercial environments or locations with sensitive electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial and hospitality 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. There are no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates. The matt black finish on the premium-grade steel construction provides a low-sheen surface that minimises fingerprints and reflections, pairing well with contemporary, industrial and minimalist interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket carries a 13A rating per outlet, handling standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W. The built-in gasket between the cover plate and wall surface reduces dust ingress around the plate edges, maintaining the clean appearance over time. Certified to BS 1363:2 safety standards and backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty, the fitting is rated IP20 for indoor dry-location use.\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\u003e147.5 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.
