The twin earth terminal configuration supports high-integrity earthing systems where a separate earth connection is needed for each outlet, meeting requirements for commercial installations and certain domestic ring circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial and hospitality 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 dual-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when each socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smoked bronze finish is a darker, cooler-toned metallic that sits between gunmetal and aged brass, pairing well with industrial, contemporary and transitional interiors. The premium-grade steel construction with an integrated gasket behind the plate prevents ingress of dust and paint spray during decoration, maintaining the IP20 rating. The black insert behind the bronze faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. Certified to BS 1363:2 and carrying 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\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
