The Knightsbridge 45A DP switch is a double-pole cooker or shower isolator switch built to a 2-gang faceplate size (146mm x 86mm) with a single large red rocker. The white thermoset resin plate has a 7mm gentle contour with rounded edges and carries anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, making it suitable for kitchens, utility rooms and bathrooms where hygiene standards matter.
Designed for high-load appliances such as electric cookers, ovens and showers, the 45A rating handles up to 10,350W at 230V. Double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing complete circuit isolation for safe appliance servicing or maintenance. The switch fits a standard 47mm minimum back box depth and is certified to EN 60669-1 for UK residential and commercial installation.
The red rocker provides clear visual indication of the switch state from across a room, which is a Building Regulations requirement for cooker control units and recommended practice for shower isolators. The white plate finish pairs with standard white switch and socket ranges, and the rounded-edge design softens the profile against walls compared to square-edge alternatives. Screw cap covers are included to hide the fixing screws once installed.
Knightsbridge backs this switch with a 25-year warranty, reflecting the durability of the thermoset resin construction and the mechanical reliability of the switching mechanism under repeated use in high-load circuits.

What appliances is this switch rated for?
The 45A rating handles electric cookers, ovens, ranges and electric showers up to 10,350W at 230V. It is commonly used as a cooker control unit switch or a shower isolator switch in residential installations.
What back box depth is required?
A 47mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The 7mm plate projection means the total depth from the wall surface once fitted is approximately 54mm.
Why is the rocker red?
The red rocker provides clear visual indication of the switch position from across a room. Building Regulations require visible indication for cooker control units, and red is the standard colour used for this purpose in UK electrical installations.
What does anti-microbial mean in this context?
The thermoset resin material is treated with an anti-microbial additive that has been third-party tested to ISO 22196:2011. This reduces bacterial growth on the switch surface, which is useful in kitchens and bathrooms where hygiene is a priority.
