Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this socket double pole?

Yes, this is a double pole socket, meaning it switches both the live and neutral connections.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

No, standard 13A sockets are not suitable for bathroom zones unless placed outside the specified splash zones by a professional.

How do I clean the bronze surface?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid chemicals and abrasive materials.

Does it fit a standard UK backbox?

Yes, the unit is designed to fit standard UK 13A wall boxes.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is rated for indoor use only.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or does not click properly

Verify that the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the faceplate and affect switch mechanics.

Appliance connected is not receiving power

Check the fuse in the appliance plug and ensure the wall switch is in the 'on' position; test the outlet with a known working device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety with double pole isolation
  • Stylish bronze aesthetic suitable for premium interior designs
  • Sturdy beveled edge faceplate construction
  • Easy to integrate into existing 13A home electrical circuits

Cons

  • Metallic finish may show fingerprints more easily than matte plastic
  • Requires careful installation to avoid scratching the surface
  • Limited to standard 13A household usage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local safety regulations and to prevent damage to the bronze faceplate. The socket is designed for a standard UK backbox. When mounting, use non-abrasive tools to tighten screws to avoid marking the bronze finish.

For maintenance, use only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the surface requires deeper cleaning, use a very slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry immediately. Avoid all chemical cleaners, acidic liquids, or scouring pads, as these will permanently damage the protective coating on the bronze plate.
