This Soho Lighting Charterhouse Collection 13A Double Pole Socket is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of luxury, durability, and enhanced safety. Its antique brass finish offers a warm aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors while resisting fingerprints. The primary benefit is its secure, screwless design and double-pole switching for user safety. A minor caveat is the requirement for a standard UK single-gang back box, which must be of appropriate depth for installation. Key features include its elegant antique brass finish, screwless faceplate, double-pole switching, and a standard 13A rating.

This is a standard 13A socket, suitable for most UK domestic appliances.
Double Pole (DP) switching means that when the switch is turned off, it disconnects both the live and neutral wires simultaneously, providing a safer complete isolation of the appliance.
Installation of electrical sockets should ideally be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. If you are experienced and confident with electrical work, ensure power is isolated at the source.
You will need a standard UK single-gang back box. The depth of the back box is important; ensure it is deep enough to safely accommodate all wiring connections without pinching or crushing them.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the faceplate. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, as they can damage the special finish.
The antique brass finish is designed to complement existing antique brass ironmongery, kitchen handles, and plumbing fixtures, offering a warm, aged look.
The dimensions of the socket plate are 86mm x 86mm x 4.5mm.
Check that the power supply is on at the consumer unit. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct. Ensure the back box is of sufficient depth to avoid crushing wires.
Ensure the internal mounting chassis is correctly installed and aligned. Check for any obstructions between the chassis and the faceplate.
This may indicate an internal mechanism issue. If the unit is new, consider a return/exchange. If in use, it may require replacement by a qualified electrician.
