Description
The Knightsbridge 20A 1-gang DP switch combines a double-pole rocker switch with a neon indicator and a flex outlet aperture behind a brushed chrome rounded-edge faceplate. The 20A rating handles fixed appliances drawing up to 4,600W on 230V supply, making it suitable for wall-mounted water heaters, immersion heaters and similar permanently-wired loads.
Designed for residential, commercial and hospitality installation, the switch provides double-pole switching that isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, giving additional safety over single-pole switching for high-load appliances. The red neon indicator lights when the switch is in the on position, confirming power to the connected appliance without needing to check the device itself. The flex outlet below the rocker allows a cable to exit through the faceplate, accommodating installations where the appliance cable needs to pass through the switch position rather than be hard-wired behind it.
The brushed chrome finish on premium-grade steel gives a soft metallic surface that resists fingerprints and integrates cleanly with both contemporary and traditional kitchen, bathroom and utility room installations. The rounded edge design sits flush with the wall when fitted to a standard 25mm back box, with the integrated gasket providing a snug seal between faceplate and wall surface. The matching metal rocker keeps the entire visible surface uniform in finish and texture. Certified to EN 60669-1 and carrying a 25-year warranty, the switch is backed by Knightsbridge's long-term quality commitment.

Frequently Asked
What appliances is this switch rated for?
The 20A rating handles fixed appliances drawing up to 4,600W on 230V supply. Common applications include wall-mounted water heaters, immersion heaters, storage heaters and similar permanently-wired high-load appliances. It is not suitable for standard plug sockets or lighting circuits.
What is the flex outlet for?
The flex outlet is an aperture below the rocker that allows an appliance cable to pass through the faceplate. This accommodates installations where the appliance is connected via a flexible cable that exits through the switch position rather than being hard-wired behind the wall.
What does the neon indicator show?
The red neon indicator lights when the switch is in the on position, confirming that power is being supplied to the connected appliance. This allows you to check the switch status visually without accessing the appliance itself, which is particularly useful for water heaters mounted high on a wall or in cupboards.
What other finishes are available?
Knightsbridge produces this 20A DP switch with neon and flex outlet in multiple finishes including polished chrome, satin chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
