Description

The Knightsbridge 50A DP pull cord switch provides double-pole switching for high-load circuits such as showers and cookers, with both a neon indicator and a mechanical ON/OFF rocker visible on the faceplate. The switch complies with Building Regulations Part M for accessible installations, fitted with a grey triangular bangle at the end of a 2m grey cord set between 900-1100mm above floor level.

Designed for bathrooms, wet rooms and other spaces where a conventional wall switch cannot be installed due to zone regulations or where accessible switching is required, the 50A rating handles circuits up to 11,500W on 230V supply. The double-pole design isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing additional safety for water-heating appliances. The neon indicator glows when the circuit is live, and the mechanical rocker moves position to show ON or OFF status even when the neon fails.

The white thermoset resin body carries IP20 rating for dry or splash-protected locations, with anti-microbial properties tested to third-party standards on the base unit. The 85mm square faceplate projects 44mm from the ceiling or wall once surface-mounted. The grey triangular bangle at the end of the cord provides visual contrast against most ceiling backgrounds and is distinguishable from emergency assistance cords, meeting Part M contrast requirements. Knightsbridge backs this switch with a 25-year warranty.

Frequently Asked

What is Part M compliance and why does it matter?

Building Regulations Part M sets accessibility standards for new builds and refurbishments in England and Wales. This switch meets Part M by having a visually contrasting bangle at the correct height range (900-1100mm) and being distinguishable from emergency pull cords. It's required in accessible bathrooms and wet rooms.

What load does 50A support?

At 230V supply, 50A supports circuits up to 11,500W. This makes the switch suitable for electric showers rated 9-11kW, cooker circuits, and other high-draw appliances where pull-cord switching is needed due to zone regulations.

Why does it have both a neon and a mechanical indicator?

The neon glows when the circuit is live, providing a visual indication even from across the room. The mechanical rocker moves position to show ON or OFF status, so you can still see the switch state if the neon bulb fails or in bright daylight when the neon is hard to see.

Can the cord length be adjusted?

The cord is supplied at 2m length. It can be shortened on installation by tying a knot above the bangle to raise it, but the bangle must remain within the 900-1100mm height range from the finished floor level to meet Part M requirements.
