The flat plate design sits just 2.5mm proud of the wall surface, creating an ultra-low-profile installation that minimises projection and gives a clean, contemporary finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and commercial installation, the socket uses double-pole switching that isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances. The twin earth terminals provide increased security in multi-circuit installations and comply with BS 1363:2 British safety standards. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat plate construction uses premium-grade steel with a brushed brass finish that shows a subtle linear grain texture, providing a warm metallic accent that pairs well with both traditional and contemporary interiors. The black insert behind the brass faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and defines the edge of each outlet aperture. The socket requires a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and includes an integrated gasket around the plate edge to prevent dust ingress behind the faceplate.\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.

Screwless plates use a separate sub-frame to hide the fixings. Both styles are available in Knightsbridge's range — the flat plate offers a slimmer 2.5mm projection versus the screwless cover's thicker profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293838729483,"sku":"FPR9000BB","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/122538_c4854c7f-3fc6-4f71-8360-c4239556fe74.jpg?v=1714664875","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/13a-2-gang-dp-switched-socket-twin-earths-brushed-brass-flat-plate-black-insert","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
