Description

The Knightsbridge FP5ABB is a 5A unswitched round pin socket with a brushed brass faceplate and black insert, certified to BS 546. The ultra-flat plate design projects just 2.5mm from the wall surface once fitted, giving a minimal profile compared to standard UK sockets which typically project 8-12mm. The round pin configuration is designed for low-current lighting circuits, table lamps, and dedicated appliance feeds where the 5A rating is sufficient.

Designed for residential and commercial installation, the socket suits modern and period interiors where round pin sockets are specified for aesthetic or functional reasons. The unswitched configuration means the socket is always live when the circuit breaker is on, making it suitable for lamps and appliances that have their own on/off controls. The built-in gasket behind the faceplate improves draught exclusion on external walls.

The brushed brass finish offers a warm metallic accent that pairs with traditional brass hardware, while the black insert behind the faceplate conceals the back of the plate and defines the aperture edges. The premium-grade steel construction provides durability, and the 25mm minimum back box depth requirement fits most standard UK mounting boxes. The socket carries a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge.

Frequently Asked

What is a 5A round pin socket used for?

5A round pin sockets are typically used for lighting circuits, table lamps, and low-current appliances where the 5A rating (up to 1,150W at 230V) is sufficient. They are common in period properties and are often specified where dedicated lamp circuits are installed.

Is this socket switched or unswitched?

This socket is unswitched, meaning it is always live when the circuit breaker is on. It suits appliances and lamps that have their own on/off controls.

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The ultra-flat plate adds just 2.5mm of projection from the wall surface once fitted.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces the Flat Plate range in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
