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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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\u003e87.5 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.
