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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnightsbridge 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.\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\u003e146 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.
