The 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 up to 3,120W per outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a rounded edge plate with a built-in gasket that sits flush against the wall. The twin earth terminals provide high-integrity earthing for installations requiring two separate earth connections, which is common in older or retrofitted UK properties where multiple earth paths are maintained for safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome finish provides a mirror-like metallic surface that pairs well with contemporary, Art Deco and modern classical 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 carries a 25-year warranty and is certified to BS 1363:2 standards for UK socket outlets.\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\u003e85.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

This is required in some older UK installations where multiple earth paths are maintained for high-integrity earthing, or in retrofitted installations where the original earth and a supplementary bond earth need to be connected at the outlet point.
