The flat plate design sits just 2.5mm proud of the wall once installed, making it one of the lowest-profile sockets available for UK installations where a flush appearance is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and office use, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a built-in gasket to seal the plate edge against the wall surface. The dual-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing additional safety for high-draw appliances. The twin earth terminals allow for redundant earthing connections where required by local wiring regulations or specific installation contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pearl finish gives a soft metallic sheen that sits between polished chrome and brushed stainless in tone, pairing well with contemporary interiors that use mixed metal accents. The white insert behind the faceplate provides contrast against the pearl surround and hides the back of the cover plate when outlets are in use. The matching metal rockers are integrated into the plate rather than being separate plastic components, giving a unified appearance across the switch panel.\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.

The flat plate style uses visible screws at the top and bottom edges to secure the faceplate to the back box.
