Dual Voltage Shaver Socket 115V/230V - Brushed Chrome Screwless (White Insert)

The Knightsbridge dual voltage shaver socket accepts both 115V and 230V shavers through a single white insert plate, set behind a brushed chrome screwless faceplate. The socket delivers 20VA output on a 230V 50Hz primary voltage and carries an IP41 rating, meaning it resists solid objects above 1mm and vertically falling water droplets, making it suitable for bathroom installation outside direct spray zones.

Designed for bathrooms, en-suites and hotel rooms, the dual voltage function removes the need for separate sockets or voltage converters when switching between different shaver models or hosting international guests. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, hiding fixings from view once installed. The 47mm minimum back box depth requirement fits standard bathroom wall constructions without needing to chase deeper recesses.

The brushed chrome finish provides a low-sheen metallic surface that resists fingerprints and water marks better than polished finishes, and pairs with chrome taps, towel rails and shower fittings. The white insert behind the brushed chrome faceplate defines the shaver plug apertures and contrasts cleanly with the metal surround. The socket is certified to EN 61558, the European standard for safety isolating transformers, and carries a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What voltage shavers does it accept?

The socket accepts both 115V and 230V shavers through the same dual outlet. The internal transformer switches automatically depending on which plug type is inserted, so no manual voltage selection is needed.

Where can it be installed in a bathroom?

The IP41 rating means the socket resists vertically falling water droplets but is not splash-proof. It should be installed outside direct spray zones from showers or taps, typically on walls away from the bath or shower enclosure, in accordance with BS 7671 bathroom zone regulations.

Is the screwless plate removable for decorating?

Yes. The brushed chrome cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting or tiling around the socket and re-clipped without disturbing the wiring.

What other finishes are available in this range?

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