13A 2 Gang DP Switched Socket Twin Earths - Polished Brass Screwless (Black Insert)

The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang DP switched socket adds twin earth terminals behind a polished brass screwless faceplate with a black 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. The twin earth terminals support high-integrity earthing where additional earth bonding is required in installations.

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 socket is certified to BS 1363:2 standards.

The polished brass finish provides a warm metallic accent that pairs well with traditional, classical and warm-toned contemporary interiors. The black insert behind the brass faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. The matching brass rocker switches sit flush with the faceplate surface when fitted. The plate measures 147.5mm wide by 87.5mm high with a 4.3mm projection from the wall once installed, and is constructed from premium grade steel.

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 provide two separate earth connections instead of the standard single earth terminal. This supports high-integrity earthing in installations where additional earth bonding is required, or where multiple earth connections need to be made at the socket location.

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?
