The 20A rating handles fixed appliances up to 4,600W on 230V mains, making it suitable for immersion heaters, instantaneous water heaters, and other high-draw permanent installations where local isolation is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neon indicator glows red when the switch is in the on position, providing a visual check of appliance status from across a room. The flex outlet aperture at the base of the plate allows a cable to exit cleanly where the appliance is surface-wired rather than buried in the wall, common in airing cupboard and utility room installations. The double pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when off, meeting requirements for fixed appliance control under BS 7671 wiring regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish is applied to premium-grade steel rather than plated plastic, giving the plate a solid feel and resistance to corrosion in damp environments like utility rooms and garages. The square edge design includes a built-in silicone gasket around the perimeter, sealing the plate against the wall and preventing dust ingress. The 25mm minimum back box depth fits standard UK electrical boxes, and the screw terminals accept solid or stranded cable up to 4mm².\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\u003e89 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
