The double-pole switches isolate both live and neutral lines when the socket is off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, office and hospitality installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a rounded-edge faceplate with a built-in gasket that sits flush against the wall surface. The twin earth terminals support high-integrity earthing systems, making this socket suitable for installations where two separate earth connections are required for compliance or additional safety measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish shows a subtle linear grain that diffuses reflections and pairs well with both warm and cool-toned interiors. The black insert behind the chrome faceplate conceals the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. Premium-grade steel construction gives the faceplate rigidity and a 25-year warranty covers manufacturing defects.\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.
