The dual voltage configuration allows the socket to power UK 230V shavers and European\/US 115V grooming appliances without needing a separate transformer, making it suitable for households with imported equipment or guest bathrooms serving international visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bathroom installation zones 2 and 3, the socket carries an IP41 rating for protection against solid objects over 1mm and vertically falling water droplets. A built-in gasket between the faceplate and back box helps prevent moisture ingress around the perimeter. The flat plate construction projects just 2.5mm from the wall when fitted, creating a lower profile than standard faceplates and reducing the risk of catching on towels or clothing in narrow bathroom spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket requires a minimum 47mm back box depth and fits standard UK mounting boxes. The brushed brass finish provides a warm metallic accent that pairs with traditional brass taps, radiator valves and heated towel rails, as well as with contemporary warm-toned interiors. The black insert behind the brass faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and provides contrast around the socket apertures. The unit is certified to EN 61558 for transformer safety and carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e147.5 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.
