Dual Voltage Shaver Socket 115V/230V - Brushed Chrome Flat Plate (Grey Insert)

The Knightsbridge FP8900BCG is a dual voltage shaver socket delivering both 115V and 230V AC outputs at 20VA from a single faceplate. The brushed chrome flat plate sits just 2.5mm proud of the wall with a grey insert framing the twin-voltage outlet aperture, giving a minimal visual presence in bathroom installations.

Designed for bathrooms, en-suites and hotel rooms where electric shavers, toothbrushes and grooming devices need a dedicated charging point, the socket accepts both UK and international dual-voltage appliances without requiring an adapter. The IP41 rating provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and vertically dripping water, making it suitable for bathroom zones where direct spray contact does not occur. The unit is certified to EN 61558 transformer safety standards.

The flat plate construction uses premium-grade steel finished with a directional brushed chrome that softens reflections under bathroom lighting. An integrated gasket between the faceplate and the mounting box improves the moisture seal and prevents ingress around the plate edges. The 47mm minimum mounting box depth accommodates the transformer and socket mechanism, with earth terminal provision for safe grounding. Knightsbridge backs the socket with a 25-year warranty.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What devices can I plug into this socket?

The socket is designed for low-power grooming appliances like electric shavers and electric toothbrushes that accept either 115V or 230V input. The 20VA output rating limits use to these small appliances — hairdryers and straighteners require higher wattages and should use standard 13A sockets outside the bathroom.

What bathroom zones is this socket suitable for?

The IP41 rating provides protection against solid objects and dripping water, making it suitable for zones where direct spray from showers or taps does not reach the socket. It should not be installed within reach of a person using a bath or shower (Zone 1) without additional RCD protection.

What mounting box depth is required?

A 47mm minimum back box depth is needed to accommodate the transformer and socket mechanism. The faceplate adds just 2.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

Is the socket isolation-transformer protected?

Yes. The unit is certified to EN 61558 and uses an isolation transformer to provide electrical separation between the mains supply and the output sockets, a safety requirement for bathroom shaver sockets.
