The round pin configuration follows BS 546 standard wiring, commonly used for lighting circuits, table lamps and low-power appliances where 13A capacity is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for lighting control installations, custom lamp circuits and period property refurbishments where 5A round pin sockets are specified, the unswitched format provides a permanent live connection without an on\/off rocker. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, meaning no visible fixings appear on the installed faceplate. A built-in gasket behind the cover improves dust and moisture resistance to IP20 standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt white finish sits flush with painted or papered walls and provides a neutral backdrop that suits traditional, contemporary and commercial interiors. The premium-grade steel construction offers rigidity and longevity, with Knightsbridge backing the fitting with a 25-year warranty. The 25mm minimum back box depth fits standard UK wall cavities and stud partitions.\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\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
