The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when each outlet is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and office installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and features an ultra-low 2.5mm projection from the wall once fitted. The flat plate design uses a built-in gasket to sit flush against the wall surface, hiding the mounting box edge and creating a clean transition between the socket and the wall finish. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome finish provides a mirror-bright metallic surface that pairs cleanly with contemporary, modern and minimalist interiors. The grey insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. The socket insert itself sits recessed behind the plate when not in use, maintaining the flat profile. The matching chrome rocker switches control each outlet independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twin earth terminals meet current wiring regulations for earthing requirements in new-build and retrofit installations. The socket is fully certified to BS 1363:2 and carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty. The premium-grade steel construction provides durability in high-use commercial and domestic environments.\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\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
