The red rocker indicates the switch is designed for high-draw circuits such as cookers, electric showers or immersion heaters, where visual identification of the control point matters. Double pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing full circuit isolation rather than just breaking the live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential kitchens, utility rooms and bathrooms where fixed high-load appliances need dedicated switching, the unit fits a standard 2-gang back box with a minimum depth of 47mm. The 9mm square edge plate sits flush to the wall with screw cap covers included to hide fixings after installation. The white finish pairs with standard UK electrical accessories across most interior styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate is moulded from thermoset resin with anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, which inhibits bacterial growth on the surface — a practical feature in kitchens and bathrooms where switches are handled frequently. The IP20 rating suits dry indoor locations. Knightsbridge backs the switch with a 25-year warranty and certifies it to EN 60669-1 for UK electrical safety standards.\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\u003e9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
