The white thermoset resin plate carries a 9mm square edge profile and includes screw cap covers to hide fixings once installed. The rocker indicator shows red when the switch is in the ON position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted in kitchens adjacent to cookers, utility rooms next to showers, and any location where a 45A-rated appliance needs a visible isolator switch, the double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing safer isolation than single-pole switching for high-draw circuits. The 86mm square faceplate fits standard UK 1-gang back boxes with a minimum 47mm depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white finish on the thermoset resin plate integrates cleanly with white or neutral-toned walls and matches Knightsbridge's broader white range of switches and sockets. The plate carries anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on the surface in high-touch environments. Certified to EN 60669-1 and backed by 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\u003e9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
