FAQs

Does this socket support fast charging?

Yes, it supports Power Delivery (PD 3.0) and Quick Charge (QC 3.0) for efficient device charging up to 20W.

Can I use both USB ports at the same time?

Yes, but the 20W power output is shared between the ports, which may result in slower charging speeds if two devices are plugged in simultaneously.

What is the finish material?

The faceplate features a high-quality Georgian Brass finish with a decorative rope-edge detail.

Is this socket compatible with standard UK back boxes?

Yes, it is designed for a standard 2-gang UK electrical back box.

Can I clean the brass with metal polish?

No, metal polish can damage the protective lacquer. Only use a soft, dry cloth for maintenance.

Troubleshooting

USB ports are not charging devices

Verify the socket is switched on and that the device cable is functional. Check the total power draw to ensure it does not exceed the 20W shared limit.

Socket is loose in the wall

Check that the mounting screws are tightened to the back box lugs. If the wall is uneven, consider using a mounting spacer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant design suits period properties and classic decors
  • Dual USB-A and USB-C ports cover modern and legacy devices
  • Efficient power delivery with PD 3.0 fast charging
  • Durable metal faceplate construction
  • Convenient 2-gang layout replaces existing standard sockets

Cons

  • Brass finish requires careful cleaning to avoid surface damage
  • Total power is shared between ports, which may slow charging if both are used simultaneously
  • Requires professional installation for electrical safety

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all wiring complies with local building and safety regulations. This socket fits a standard UK 2-gang electrical back box. Ensure the power is fully isolated at the consumer unit before beginning installation. Regarding care, the Georgian Brass finish is susceptible to tarnish and scratches if treated with harsh chemicals. Always clean the faceplate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, acidic cleaning agents, or metal polishes that may strip the protective lacquer coating.
