The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, offering additional safety over single-pole designs. Twin earth terminals allow separate earthing paths where required by installation standards or for equipment with specific earthing needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and office installation where visible fixings are unwanted, the flat plate sits almost flush to the wall with just 2.5mm projection once fitted to a standard 25mm back box. A built-in gasket seals the plate edge to the wall surface, giving a clean finish without visible gaps. The brass rockers match the faceplate finish, maintaining a consistent metal appearance across all visible elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished brass finish provides a warm metallic accent that pairs well with traditional brass door furniture, period lighting and warm-toned contemporary interiors. The black insert behind each outlet aperture defines the socket edges and hides the internal mechanism. Certified to BS 1363:2 standards, the socket carries a 13A rating per outlet and is backed by Knightsbridge's 25-year warranty.\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.
