The plate is moulded from thermoset resin with a gently contoured 23mm profile and softened corners, designed to resist cracking under heat and impact better than standard thermoplastic faceplates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalled between the cooker circuit breaker and the appliance itself, the unit provides a safe isolation point for cooker installation and maintenance without needing to access the consumer unit. The large-capacity terminals accept cable cores up to 10mm² and use clamp fittings rather than screw terminals, reducing installation time and ensuring solid connections under repeated thermal cycling. A bottom knockout allows the outgoing cable to drop directly down into the cooker rather than looping back through the wall cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concealed fixing design hides the mounting screws behind snap-on screw cap covers once the unit is installed, giving a cleaner appearance than traditional visible-screw plates. The white finish suits neutral-toned kitchens and utility rooms, and the anti-microbial additive in the resin reduces bacterial growth on the plate surface in environments where hygiene matters. The unit is certified to BS 5733 and carries a 25-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
