The matt black rounded-edge faceplate is made from premium-grade steel with a matching matt black metal rocker, and includes a red neon indicator above the rocker to show when the circuit is live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for kitchen, utility room and bathroom installation where a dedicated 20A circuit is required by Building Regulations, the double-pole operation isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off. The neon indicator allows occupants to verify at a glance whether an appliance circuit is energised, which is particularly useful for immersion heaters and other appliances that operate out of sight. The switch fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses screw terminals for cable connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rounded-edge design has gently curved corners rather than the sharp 90-degree edges of traditional flat-plate switches, giving a softer profile against the wall. The matt black finish provides a low-reflectance surface that pairs with contemporary matt black taps, door furniture and kitchen appliances. A built-in gasket between the faceplate and wall improves the seal and reduces the risk of dust ingress. The switch is certified to EN 60669-1 and carries a 25-year warranty.\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\u003e87.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
