Dual Voltage Shaver Socket 115/230V - Pearl (White Insert, Flat Plate)

The Knightsbridge FP8900PLW is a dual voltage shaver socket providing both 115V and 230V outputs at 20VA, housed in a pearl finish flat plate with a white insert. The flat plate design projects just 2.5mm from the wall once fitted, making it one of the slimmest shaver socket profiles available and suitable for modern bathrooms where minimal projection is preferred.

The socket accepts standard two-pin shaver plugs and allows users to switch between 115V and 230V depending on the device being used. This suits households with a mix of UK and imported grooming equipment, or where travel shavers need charging. The IP41 rating provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and vertically falling water droplets, making the socket appropriate for bathroom zones where direct spray is unlikely but humidity and occasional splashes occur.

The pearl finish is a warm off-white metallic tone that sits between brushed chrome and white plastic, pairing well with white sanitaryware, chrome taps and light-toned tile schemes. The premium-grade steel construction gives the plate structural rigidity and a corrosion-resistant surface. A built-in gasket sits between the faceplate and the back box to reduce moisture ingress around the plate edges. The socket meets EN 61558 transformer safety standards and carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What back box depth is required?

A minimum 47mm back box depth is needed to accommodate the socket mechanism and allow safe cable termination behind the faceplate. The 2.5mm projection means the total depth from the wall is 49.5mm once installed.

Is this suitable for bathrooms?

Yes. The IP41 rating protects against splashes and humidity, making it appropriate for bathroom zones where direct spray from showers or taps does not reach the socket. Consult the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) for zone placement guidance if installing near a bath or shower enclosure.

How do I switch between 115V and 230V?

The socket faceplate has a selector switch marked with 115V and 230V positions. Move the switch to the voltage that matches your device before inserting the plug. Most UK shavers use 230V; imported or travel shavers may require 115V.

What finish options are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this flat plate shaver socket in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, matt black, antique brass and white. Use the search function or finish filters at Niori to find other variants in stock.
