Description

The Knightsbridge 5A unswitched round pin socket is designed for dedicated lighting circuits, table lamps and low-power appliances requiring a round 3-pin connection. The socket sits behind a brushed chrome screwless faceplate with a grey insert, measuring 87.5mm square with a low 4.3mm projection from the wall once fitted.

Round pin sockets are typically used where lighting circuits need dedicated outlets separate from standard 13A ring mains — common in period properties, hotels and commercial lighting installations where table lamps or floor lamps run on independent 5A circuits. The unswitched design means the outlet is always live when the circuit is on, controlled by the main lighting switch or consumer unit.

The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, leaving no visible fixings on the wall surface. The brushed chrome finish provides a directional grain that catches light differently depending on viewing angle, and the grey insert behind the faceplate hides the back of the cover plate. The socket is certified to BS 546 for round pin outlets and carries a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge.

Frequently Asked

What is a 5A round pin socket used for?

Round pin sockets are designed for dedicated lighting circuits and low-power appliances that use round 3-pin plugs. They are typically found in period properties, hotels and commercial installations where lighting runs on separate 5A circuits rather than the standard 13A ring main.

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

Is the screwless plate removable?

Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame that is fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for decorating and re-clipped without disconnecting wiring.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this socket style in a range of 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.
