Dual Voltage Shaver Socket 115V/230V - Polished Brass Screwless (White Insert)

The Knightsbridge dual voltage shaver socket provides 115V and 230V outputs at 20VA behind a polished brass screwless faceplate with a white centre insert. The socket accepts both two-pin UK and European-style shaver plugs through the dual voltage transformer, making it suitable for households with shavers from different regions or guest bathrooms accommodating international visitors.

Rated IP41 for bathroom installation, the socket includes an internal gasket to protect against water droplets and steam from showers and baths. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, leaving no visible fixings on the wall once installed. The socket fits a standard 47mm minimum back box depth and sits 4.3mm proud of the wall when fitted, creating a low-profile finish that works in bathrooms with limited space around basins and mirrors.

The polished brass finish provides a warm metallic accent that pairs with traditional brass taps, heated towel rails and period-style bathroom fittings, while the white centre insert gives a clean contrast and hides the back of the cover plate. The premium-grade steel construction and EN 61558 certification confirm the transformer meets safety standards for bathroom electrical fittings. Knightsbridge backs the socket with a 25-year warranty.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What voltages does this socket support?

The socket provides both 115V and 230V outputs at 20VA through a built-in transformer. This allows it to accept shaver plugs from UK appliances (230V) and North American or older European appliances (115V) without needing a separate travel adaptor.

Is it suitable for use in bathrooms?

Yes. The socket carries an IP41 rating, meaning it resists water droplets and steam from normal bathroom use. The internal gasket provides additional protection. It must be installed in accordance with UK wiring regulations for bathroom zones.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum 47mm back box depth is needed. The socket has a recessed depth of 43.4mm and projects just 4.3mm from the wall once the screwless cover plate is fitted, making it suitable for installation where wall depth is limited.

Can the screwless plate be removed for redecorating?

Yes. The polished brass cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed to paint or tile around the socket and re-clipped afterwards without disturbing the wiring.
