Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and renovators seeking a modern, easy-to-install, and durable electrical accessory. The key benefit is its sleek, screwless design that enhances any room's aesthetics while being simple to maintain. A minor consideration is that the glossy finish, while attractive, may show fingerprints more readily than matte alternatives. This Trendi Switch socket combines TV co-axial and telephone ports within a single, elegant unit, featuring a high-quality fireproof ABS plastic construction, a seamless screwless faceplate, and a smooth gloss white finish resistant to fading.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the screwless design?

The screwless design provides a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding visible screws. It also makes the plate easier to clean and less prone to accumulating dust.

What type of plastic is the socket made from?

The socket is made from high-quality, fireproof ABS plastic, ensuring durability and safety standards are met.

How do I clean the socket?

Clean the socket using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the gloss finish.

Does this product come with a backbox?

No, this product requires a separate, compatible single-gang UK backbox for installation. The backbox is not included.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Trendi Switch TV Co-axial & Telephone Socket comes with a comprehensive five-year warranty against scratches, fading, or malfunctioning.

Can I replace an existing double socket with this unit?

Yes, provided you have a standard single-gang backbox installed and the necessary wiring for both TV co-axial and telephone lines is present in that location.

Is the gloss white finish prone to yellowing?

The product description states the gloss white surface is designed to resist fading, which should prevent yellowing over time under normal conditions.

Troubleshooting

No TV or telephone signal after installation

Verify that the correct cables are connected to the corresponding terminals (TV to co-axial, telephone to telephone). Ensure the wiring inside the wall is correctly terminated and that the relevant circuit breaker is on. Double-check the physical connection of the coaxial cable's center pin and the telephone wires.

Loose or rattling faceplate

Gently press the edges of the screwless faceplate inwards until it clicks securely into place. Ensure no debris is preventing a flush fit.

Surface appears dull or scratched

This is unlikely given the product's materials, but if minor scuffs appear on the gloss finish, try cleaning with a soft, damp cloth. For significant scratches, consult the warranty details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This socket requires a compatible backbox (sold separately) to be recessed into the wall. Ensure the power to the relevant circuit is switched off before installation. Remove the outer screwless plate, connect the TV coaxial cable and telephone wires to the appropriate terminals within the unit, then secure the internal module to the backbox. Finally, clip the screwless outer plate into place.

Compatibility:

  • Electrical Wiring: Standard UK wiring conventions for TV coaxial and telephone lines are supported.
  • Backbox: Requires a standard single-gang UK backbox (minimum depth of 34mm recommended).
  • Other Trendiswitch Products: Designed to match other items in the Trendiswitch range for a uniform look.

Care:

  • Wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the gloss finish.
  • Periodically check that the faceplate is securely clipped on.
