Description
The Knightsbridge FPR9UPCW is a 13A 2-gang unswitched floor socket with a spring-loaded polished chrome cover and white insert, designed for recessed installation into floors. The socket sits flush when closed, projecting just 3mm above floor level, and the spring mechanism lifts the cover when pressed to reveal two standard UK 13A outlets underneath.
Designed for office floors, hotel rooms, boardrooms and open-plan residential spaces where power is needed away from walls, the socket fits a standard 35mm minimum back box depth and requires a cut-out in the floor surface to accommodate the recessed 30mm depth. The spring-loaded cover protects the outlets from foot traffic, dust and liquid ingress when not in use, and the IP20 rating confirms suitability for dry interior environments only.
The polished chrome finish on the cover plate provides a reflective metallic surface that pairs with contemporary interiors, while the white insert behind the chrome gives a clean contrast around each outlet aperture. The premium-grade steel construction handles repeated opening and closing cycles in high-traffic commercial environments, and the 25-year warranty reflects Knightsbridge's confidence in the mechanical durability of the spring mechanism and cover plate hinge.
Because the socket is unswitched, both outlets remain live whenever the circuit is energised. This makes the socket faster to use in settings where appliances are plugged in briefly and frequently, but means that isolation must be controlled at the consumer unit or via a switched spur if needed. The earth terminal is provided for safe connection of grounded appliances.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 35mm minimum back box depth is needed. The socket recesses 30mm below floor level and projects 3mm above when closed, so the total floor build-up including the back box, socket body, and any floor finish (carpet, vinyl, timber) must accommodate this.
Can the socket be used in bathrooms or kitchens?
The IP20 rating confirms the socket is designed for dry interior environments only. It is not suitable for wet rooms, bathrooms, outdoor use, or areas where liquid spillage is likely. The spring-loaded cover is not waterproof.
Is the socket switched?
No. This is an unswitched socket, so both outlets remain live whenever the circuit is energised. If local isolation is needed, install a switched spur or control the circuit at the consumer unit.
What finishes are available in this range?
Knightsbridge produces floor sockets in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass and matt black. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
