45A DP Cooker Switch & 13A Switched Socket with Neons - White Square Edge

The Knightsbridge 45A DP cooker switch and 13A switched socket combines a dual-pole 45A cooker control with a switched 13A outlet on a single-gang 9mm square edge white plate. Both the cooker switch and the socket outlet feature red neon indicators that illuminate when the switch is in the ON position, providing visual confirmation of live power status.

Designed for kitchen installation where a cooker circuit and a standard appliance outlet are needed side by side, the unit fits a standard 47mm minimum depth back box. The dual-pole switching on both the cooker control and the socket isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing full electrical isolation for maintenance or appliance disconnection. The 45A rating handles UK cooker and oven loads up to 10,350W on a dedicated circuit, while the 13A socket handles standard appliance loads up to 3,120W.

The 9mm thermoset resin plate carries anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on the surface in high-touch kitchen environments. The white finish is laser-printed rather than screen-printed, providing better resistance to wear and fading over the 25-year warranty period. Screw cap covers are included to conceal the fixing screws once installed, giving a cleaner appearance than exposed screw heads.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What back box depth is required?

A 47mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The 9mm plate projection adds to this, giving a total projection from the wall of approximately 10-11mm once the screw cap covers are fitted.

What do the neon indicators show?

Both the 45A cooker switch and the 13A socket have red neon indicators that illuminate when the switch is in the ON position. They confirm that live power is present at the outlet, which is useful for confirming isolation before servicing an appliance.

Is the 13A socket part of the cooker circuit?

No. The 13A socket is a separate switched outlet intended for standard kitchen appliances on a ring main or radial circuit. The 45A cooker switch connects to a dedicated cooker circuit. Both are controlled independently despite being on the same faceplate.

What is the anti-microbial protection?

The thermoset resin plate is treated with an anti-microbial additive that reduces bacterial growth on the surface. It has been tested to ISO 22196:2011 by a third-party laboratory. This is particularly useful in kitchens where switches and sockets are touched frequently with unwashed hands.
