Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang SP switched socket adds one USB-A and one USB-C charging port behind a polished chrome screwless faceplate with a grey insert. The single-pole switching isolates the live line when the socket is switched off, suitable for general residential and commercial installation. The dual USB ports share a 5V DC 4.0A output for simultaneous charging of two devices.
Designed for bedrooms, home offices, kitchens and living areas, the socket fits a standard 25-35mm back box depth depending on wiring conditions. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, concealing all fixings and leaving a clean finish on the wall once installed. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.
The polished chrome finish provides a bright metallic accent that pairs with modern, minimalist and chrome-accented interiors. The grey insert sits behind the chrome faceplate, providing contrast around each outlet aperture and rocker switch. The USB-C port supports modern fast-charge protocols, while the USB-A retains compatibility with older cables and devices. The premium-grade steel construction and IP20 rating make the socket suitable for dry indoor locations.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25-35mm back box depth is needed, depending on wiring conditions. Tighter wiring configurations may require the deeper end of that range. The screwless cover plate adds 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted.
What's the USB charging output?
The USB-A and USB-C ports share a 5V DC 4.0A output. When charging two devices simultaneously, the total output is divided between them. The USB-C port supports modern fast-charge protocols for compatible devices.
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.
