FAQs

Does this socket replace a standard double socket?

Yes, this unit is designed to replace a standard double electrical wall socket and requires professional installation.

Can I charge my laptop and phone at the same time?

Yes, the USB-A (18W) and USB-C (20W) ports can be used simultaneously to charge different devices, along with the standard 13A socket.

What is the maximum power output for the USB ports?

The USB-A port offers up to 18W, and the USB-C port offers up to 20W for fast charging compatible devices.

Is professional installation required?

Yes, due to it being a mains electrical product, professional installation by a qualified electrician is mandatory for safety and compliance.

What is the finish of the socket?

The socket features a brushed chrome metal finish.

Is the USB-C port Power Delivery (PD) compatible?

The USB-C port is designed for fast charging and supports protocols like Power Delivery (PD) for compatible devices, providing up to 20W.

Troubleshooting

No power from the 13A socket

Check that the circuit breaker or fuse for this circuit is on. Ensure the socket has been correctly wired by a qualified electrician.

USB ports not charging devices

Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to both the device and the socket. Try a different USB cable, as the cable may be faulty. Ensure the device is compatible with the charging wattage (18W USB-A, 20W USB-C) and that the socket has power.

Slow charging speed

Confirm that the device and cable support the full charging wattage (18W or 20W). Using a lower-wattage cable or a device that doesn't support fast charging will result in slower speeds. Ensure no other high-power devices are drawing excessive current from the same circuit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a mains-powered electrical product and *must* be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. Incorrect installation can lead to electrical hazards.

Compatibility:

The standard 13A socket is compatible with all UK/EU standard plugs. The USB-A port supports charging protocols for devices requiring up to 18W. The USB-C port supports charging protocols for devices requiring up to 20W, including Power Delivery (PD) for compatible devices. Always ensure your charging cable is compatible with the USB port you are using.

Care:

To clean the socket, first ensure power is isolated at the fuse box. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the brushed chrome finish.
