SHPELEC Socket - Ultra Matt Black Screwless

The screwless design provides a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic by hiding visible screws, contributing to a sleek and modern look.

This socket is rated for general household use (13A) and its premium finish is ideal for kitchens and bedrooms. For installation in special zones like bathrooms, always consult local electrical regulations and ensure appropriate IP ratings are met.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.

For flush mounting, you will need a standard UK electrical back box of sufficient depth to accommodate the socket mechanism. The included pattress box is for surface mounting.

Yes, as long as your existing wiring is compatible with a 13A fused connection and you use the appropriate back box for flush mounting or the provided pattress box for surface mounting. Always ensure power is off before installation.

'2 Gang' refers to the two socket outlets on the plate, and '13A' is the maximum current rating for each socket, suitable for most standard UK appliances.

The finish is designed to be fingerprint-resistant, but like most dark surfaces, heavy smudges may be visible and can be cleaned off with a damp cloth.

Check the mains power supply is on. Verify wiring connections at the terminals are secure and correct. Ensure the fuse in the plug of the connected appliance is intact.

Ensure the socket base is correctly seated against the wall or pattress box. Check for any obstructions or debris behind the faceplate. Ensure the correct pattress box or back box is being used.

For minor scuffs, try a specialized plastic cleaner or a very mild polish designed for matt surfaces, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid aggressive rubbing.
