The 45A switch isolates the cooker circuit, allowing maintenance or cleaning without needing to turn off the entire kitchen ring main, while the 13A socket provides an additional outlet for small appliances near the cooker position. Both switches include neon indicators that glow red when live, confirming the circuit status at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for kitchen installation where control of a cooker or hob is required alongside a convenient socket for kettles, microwaves or other worktop appliances, the unit fits a 47mm minimum depth back box and sits just 2.5mm proud of the wall once installed. The double-pole switching on the 45A isolates both live and neutral lines, providing full electrical isolation rather than just breaking the live conductor. The unit is certified to BS 4177 for cooker control units and BS 1363-2 for socket outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome finish on the premium-grade steel faceplate provides a mirror-like reflective surface that pairs well with stainless steel appliances and modern kitchen hardware. The black insert behind the chrome plate defines the edges of the switch rockers and socket aperture, giving visual contrast and hiding the back of the cover. The ultra-flat profile design includes a built-in gasket that seals against the wall surface, reducing dust ingress behind the plate.\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\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e147.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
