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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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.

This is specified in some commercial and high-reliability residential installations but is not required for standard domestic circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat back box depth is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a flat plate differ from a screwless plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the polished chrome be cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293842006283,"sku":"FPR9000PCW","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/122550_2debd9a4-a6c7-469e-9622-06091715a79c.jpg?v=1714664897","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/13a-2-gang-dp-switched-socket-with-twin-earths-polished-chrome-flat-plate-white-insert","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
