13A 2 Gang DP Switched Socket Twin Earths - Brushed Chrome Screwless (Grey Insert)

The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang DP switched socket features twin earth terminals behind a brushed chrome screwless faceplate with a grey insert. 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. Twin earth terminals allow connection to two separate earth cables, meeting high-integrity earthing requirements for commercial installations and specific domestic circuits.

Designed for residential, hospitality and office installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a screwless cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame. This means there are no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet. The built-in gasket between the faceplate and wall creates a flush fit that hides gaps and unevenness in the plasterwork.

The brushed chrome finish shows directional grain lines that soften reflections and pair well with contemporary, industrial and cooler-toned interiors. The grey insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. The socket insert itself is recessed so that once a plug is inserted, only the faceplate and plug remain visible. Knightsbridge backs this socket with a 25-year warranty, reflecting the premium-grade steel construction and Class I earthing specification.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds approximately 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

What are twin earth terminals used for?

Twin earth terminals allow connection to two separate earth cables. This meets high-integrity earthing requirements for commercial installations, medical environments, and specific domestic circuits where a supplementary earth bond is needed.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the socket and re-clipped without re-wiring.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
