Soho Lighting Antique Brass 20A Flex Outlet - Black Insert - Screwless

A flex outlet, or flexi-outlet, is used to hardwire appliances directly into the electrical system, bypassing the need for a standard plug. This is common for appliances that are permanently installed or have a higher power requirement than a standard socket can safely provide.

No, due to the 20A rating and the nature of hardwiring, this outlet must be installed by a qualified electrician to comply with safety standards and regulations.

Clean the finish with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishes, or solvents, as these can damage the plated and aged finish.

The screwless plate itself clips onto a hidden mounting bracket. The complexity lies in the hardwiring, which must be done by an electrician. The plate attachment is straightforward once the wiring is complete.

This is a 20A outlet designed specifically for hardwiring appliances. Standard 13A sockets are for plug-in devices and have different safety and current-carrying capabilities.

The finish is designed to be durable and easy to maintain. Its brushed nature helps conceal fingerprints and smudges, making it practical for regular use. Standard cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient.

Ensure the circuit breaker is on and the appliance is correctly hardwired by a qualified electrician. Check for loose connections.

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure no corrosive substances have come into contact with the finish.

Verify that the underlying electrical box is correctly installed and that all mounting screws are properly tightened. Ensure no wiring is obstructing the plate.
