The unswitched design means the outlets are permanently live when mains power is on, suited to appliances that need constant supply such as fridges, freezers, server equipment or low-energy devices left on standby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial and healthcare installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses visible fixing screws with matching white screw cap covers to conceal the heads once tightened. The square edge profile sits flush to the wall with a 9mm projection from the mounting surface, giving a clean low-profile finish that works across modern and traditional interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anti-microbial properties are embedded in the resin itself rather than applied as a surface coating, meaning they remain effective across the 25-year warranty period even with frequent cleaning. The twin earth terminals provide additional earthing options during installation, and the IP20 rating confirms the socket is suitable for dry indoor environments. The white finish pairs with standard white walls and most UK electrical accessories without creating visual discontinuity.\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\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
