Description

The Knightsbridge 20A 1-gang double pole switch controls fixed appliances such as water heaters, immersion heaters, and other high-draw equipment requiring isolated switching. The switch is rated at 20A on 230V mains and uses double pole switching to isolate both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing safer isolation than single-pole switching for permanent wiring installations.

Designed for residential, commercial and hospitality installations where fixed appliances need dedicated control, the switch fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses an ultra-flat plate design that projects just 2.5mm from the wall once fitted. The flat plate construction removes the stepped edge found on traditional raised plates, giving a cleaner finish on modern plastered walls and tiled surfaces.

The pearl finish is a warm off-white metallic tone that sits between polished chrome and brushed stainless steel, pairing comfortably with both warm and cool interior colour schemes. The matching pearl rocker sits flush with the plate when in the off position, and the rocker aperture has a defined black edge to maintain visual clarity. The premium-grade steel construction carries a 25-year warranty and meets EN 60669-1 certification for safety and durability.

Frequently Asked

What appliances require a 20A switch?

Water heaters, immersion heaters, electric showers, and other fixed appliances drawing between 13A and 20A typically require a dedicated 20A switch. Check the appliance rating plate before selecting a switch — if the appliance draws more than 13A continuously, a 20A switch is needed.

What does double pole switching mean?

Double pole (DP) switching isolates both the live and neutral conductors when the switch is turned off, providing safer isolation than single-pole switching. This is required by wiring regulations for certain fixed appliances, particularly those in bathrooms and wet areas.

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The flat plate adds just 2.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted, making the total surface-to-switch thickness 27.5mm.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this flat plate style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
