The switch features a red neon indicator that glows when the circuit is live, and fits a 2-gang mounting box despite controlling only a single 45A circuit. The brushed chrome flat plate has a 2.5mm ultra-low projection from the wall and a built-in gasket for a tight seal against the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalled between the consumer unit and the cooker or hob connection point, the switch provides safe isolation for cleaning, servicing or replacing cooking appliances. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when off, which is required by wiring regulations for fixed high-load appliances rated above 13A. The 45A rating handles total connected cooking loads up to 10,350W on 230V mains, which covers most domestic electric cookers, hobs and range cookers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat plate design uses premium-grade steel finished in brushed chrome, giving a low-sheen metallic surface that resists fingerprints better than polished chrome. The 2.5mm projection keeps the switch nearly flush with the wall, which suits contemporary kitchens where minimal visual interruption is preferred. The red neon indicator sits above the rocker switch and is visible in daylight, confirming at a glance whether the circuit is isolated or live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch requires a 47mm minimum back box depth for safe cable termination and fits standard 2-gang UK mounting boxes. The built-in gasket compresses against the wall or tiled surface on installation, sealing the gap between plate and mounting surface to prevent dust and moisture ingress behind the faceplate. Knightsbridge backs the switch with 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\u003e147.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
