The flat plate design reduces projection from the wall to just 2.5mm once fitted, using premium-grade steel construction with a built-in gasket that sits flush to the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial and hospitality installations where minimal visual intrusion matters, the socket fits standard 25mm minimum depth back boxes and uses double-pole switching to isolate both live and neutral lines when switched off. The twin earth terminals provide separate earthing connections for each outlet, meeting BS 1363:2 certification requirements. The white socket inserts behind the brushed chrome rockers remain almost completely hidden once plugs are inserted, maintaining the clean metallic appearance of the faceplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish provides a satin metallic surface that minimises fingerprints and pairs well with contemporary, minimalist and commercial interiors where chrome taps, door handles and light switches create a coordinated scheme. The 147.5mm width and 87.5mm height conform to standard UK 2-gang dimensions, allowing direct replacement of existing sockets without redecorating. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year warranty, reflecting the durability of the steel construction and switch mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\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.

The flat plate design adds only 2.5mm projection from the wall once fitted, making this one of the lowest-profile socket designs available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does double-pole switching mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble-pole (DP) switching isolates both the live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety compared to single-pole switches which only isolate the live line. This is particularly useful for high-draw appliances or where complete electrical isolation is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy twin earth terminals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwin earth terminals provide separate earthing connections for each outlet rather than a single shared earth. This configuration meets current BS 1363:2 certification requirements and improves safety in installations where multiple high-current devices are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the flat plate be painted around during redecoration?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in gasket creates a seal between the plate and the wall, which helps prevent paint or plaster from seeping behind the faceplate. The socket should be isolated at the consumer unit before decorating, and masking tape applied to protect the visible metal surface from paint splashes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293839221003,"sku":"FPR9000BCW","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/122542_3d53f73f-be43-4c95-8f22-1fbd4d259b00.jpg?v=1714664883","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/13a-2-gang-dp-switched-socket-twin-earths-brushed-chrome-flat-plate-white-insert","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
