The switch uses a bright red rocker marked 'ON' to provide clear visual indication of the circuit state, set into a white thermoset resin faceplate with gently rounded edges and a 7mm contoured profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and light commercial installation, the switch fits a standard 35mm minimum back box depth and includes screw cap covers to conceal the fixing screws once installed. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the switch is off, providing complete circuit isolation for appliances requiring maintenance or replacement. The 45A rating handles loads up to 10,350W at 230V, comfortably covering typical UK cooker and shower installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white faceplate is manufactured from thermoset resin with anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on the surface over time. This makes the switch suitable for kitchens, utility rooms and other areas where hygiene matters. The rounded edge profile eliminates sharp corners and the slightly contoured face reduces the visual bulk of the plate on the wall compared to flat-edge alternatives.\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\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
