The entire faceplate projects just 2.5mm from the wall once installed, with a built-in gasket that seals the plate edge flush against the wall for a clean, minimal finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial and hospitality installations where a low-profile aesthetic matters, this socket fits kitchens, living rooms, hotel bedrooms and offices where visible cable clutter is common. The single-pole switching isolates the live conductor when the socket is switched off, while the 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet. The dual USB ports share a 5V DC 4.0A output, allowing simultaneous charging of phones, tablets and other low-voltage devices without occupying the mains sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish is a directionally-brushed steel surface with a cool-toned metallic sheen that suits contemporary, Scandi and industrial interiors. The white insert behind the chrome faceplate provides contrast around each outlet aperture and hides the back of the cover plate. The flat plate construction requires a 25-35mm back box depth depending on cable run and termination space, making it compatible with standard UK mounting boxes in both new-build and retrofit installations.\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.

The 2.5mm projection of the plate itself means total wall projection is minimal even with a deeper box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the USB charging output?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual USB ports share a combined 5V DC 4.0A output. Both ports can be used simultaneously, with the current split between connected devices. The USB-C port supports standard charging protocols, while the USB-A port remains compatible with older cables and devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does SP switching mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSP stands for single-pole, meaning the switch isolates only the live conductor when turned off. The neutral line remains connected. For most residential applications this is standard practice, though dual-pole switching (DP) is required in specific contexts like commercial kitchens or where local regulations demand it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat other finishes are available in this range?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnightsbridge produces the flat plate range in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, matt black, polished brass, antique brass and white.
