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. The twin earth terminals meet high-integrity earthing requirements in installations where a second earth connection is specified.\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 an integrated gasket that sits flush against the wall. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet. The double pole switches provide positive isolation for appliances left plugged in but not in use, reducing standby power draw and improving safety during maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish provides a cool metallic accent with a linear grain that resists fingerprints and sits comfortably in contemporary, industrial and commercial interiors. The grey insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and defines the edge of each outlet aperture. The premium-grade steel construction and 25-year warranty reflect Knightsbridge's manufacturing standards for electrical accessories installed in high-use environments.\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.
