2 Gang Double 13A 24W USB-C Socket - Brushed Steel

Two 13A sockets sit behind a screwless plate, with USB-C charging built into the face so a phone or tablet can be topped up without an adaptor blocking a socket. Output is shared between the ports, up to 24W in total. Rocker switches sit alongside each socket, giving you the option of cutting the power at the wall rather than pulling the plug. The plate is brushed steel with a chrome insert, a soft grey sheen rather than a mirror shine, and the whole thing is compact enough to sit quietly on a wall.

We reach for this one in bedrooms and home offices, where a bedside table or a desk usually ends up with a tangle of chargers and not enough sockets to go round. It works just as well on a kitchen worktop, in a spare room, or in a rental where guests arrive with a different cable each. Brushed steel keeps company with stainless appliances and with grey and white décor, and it takes fingerprints far less readily than polished chrome. It is meant for dry rooms indoors on an ordinary household supply, so not bathrooms, garages or anywhere damp.

The body is moulded ABS with a steel plate over it, and the screwless front gives a clean, unbroken face with nothing to interrupt the brushed grain. Cleaning is a matter of a dry cloth run along the grain, with a barely damp one for kitchen grease; keep cream cleaners, wire wool and solvents away from both the steel and the chrome, as they dull the finish for good. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are working through a whole room, we would keep the plate style consistent throughout, since screwless fronts line up neatly with each other along a wall.

What kind of USB charging does it have?

Both ports are USB-C, and they share a total output of 24W between them. If you use one port on its own it draws on the full shared output; with two devices plugged in, that output is divided.

How big is the plate?

It measures 146mm across and 85mm tall, with a depth of 35mm behind the face.

Are the sockets switched?

Yes, each socket has a rocker switch so you can turn the power off at the wall without unplugging.

Can I put this in a bathroom or an unheated garage?

No. It is rated for indoor use only on a domestic supply, in dry rooms. Damp locations need a fitting made for the purpose.

How should I clean the brushed steel?

A dry cloth wiped in the direction of the grain is usually enough. For greasy marks, use a cloth just barely damp and dry it straight after. Avoid abrasive pads, cream cleaners and solvents on the steel and the chrome insert.

Is there a warranty?

It carries a ten year warranty from the manufacturer.
