Description
The Knightsbridge FPR9000PCW is a 13A 2-gang DP switched socket with twin earth terminals, housed in a polished chrome flat plate with a white insert. The flat plate construction sits just 2.5mm proud of the wall once fitted, making it one of the lowest-profile socket designs available for UK installation. The twin earth terminals provide dual earthing connections for installations requiring higher-integrity earthing paths.
Designed for residential, hospitality and office settings where a minimal aesthetic matters, the socket uses a screw-fixed flat plate rather than a screwless cover. The polished chrome finish gives mirror-level reflectivity, pairing well with modern, contemporary and chrome-accented interiors. The white insert behind the chrome faceplate keeps the apertures clean-looking when the socket is not in use. The rocker switches sit flush with the plate surface, maintaining the ultra-low profile throughout.
The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is off, providing additional safety for high-draw appliances compared to single-pole switching. The socket is rated to 13A per outlet (3,120W maximum per gang) and is certified to BS 1363:2 for compliance with UK electrical installation standards. The premium-grade steel construction carries a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge. The socket requires a standard 25mm minimum back box depth for installation.

Frequently Asked
What are twin earth terminals used for?
Twin earth terminals provide two separate earthing connection points instead of one, used in installations requiring higher-integrity earthing paths or where multiple earth conductors need to be terminated at the socket. This is specified in some commercial and high-reliability residential installations but is not required for standard domestic circuits.
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The ultra-low 2.5mm profile of the flat plate adds minimal projection from the wall once fitted.
How does a flat plate differ from a screwless plate?
A flat plate is screw-fixed directly to the back box, with visible screw heads on the faceplate. A screwless plate uses a clip-on cover that hides the screws behind a removable faceplate. Flat plates typically have a lower profile but show screw fixings, while screwless plates conceal fixings but project slightly further from the wall.
Can the polished chrome be cleaned?
Yes. Wipe the chrome surface with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with water is acceptable, but avoid household sprays or polishes containing ammonia or abrasive compounds, which can damage the chrome finish.
