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 and devices where complete isolation is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and office installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a premium-grade steel construction with a polished chrome finish that reflects light and pairs well with both contemporary and traditional interiors. The white insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture, while the rounded-edge profile includes an integrated gasket to sit flush against the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twin earth terminals support high-integrity earthing requirements where multiple earth connections are needed per outlet, such as in installations with metal back boxes or where earthing continuity must be maintained across multiple accessories. The socket is certified to BS 1363:2 and carries a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.\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.

Screwless versions use a separate sub-frame and clip-on cover plate with no visible screws on the finished surface. Both meet the same electrical standards, but the aesthetic finish differs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 'twin earth' mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwin earth terminals provide two separate earth connection points within the socket, allowing for high-integrity earthing where multiple earth conductors need to be connected.
