Product Information
Full details
The UEP Regency Switched Fused Spur is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to add a touch of classic elegance to their electrical installations without compromising on safety. This 13-amp fused unit provides a dedicated, switched power point for high-load appliances like dishwashers or heated towel rails while incorporating a clear neon indicator for easy status monitoring. While the antique brass finish offers a premium aesthetic that complements traditional interiors, users should note that the metallic surface requires careful maintenance to avoid scratches or finish degradation during installation.

FAQs
Can this be used for bathroom appliances?
No, this unit is not IP-rated for wet zones and should not be installed in bathrooms or areas subject to high humidity.
Does it come with a fuse?
Yes, it is designed for a standard 13A BS 1362 fuse, which is typically included.
Is the antique brass finish plated or solid?
It is a high-quality finish applied to the surface; it provides the look of solid brass while maintaining modern safety and durability standards.
What size back box do I need?
This is a standard UK size; a minimum back box depth of 25mm to 35mm is recommended depending on the wiring density.
Can I replace the fuse myself?
Yes, the fuse holder is designed for easy user access, but ensure the power is isolated at the consumer unit before touching the fuse.
Troubleshooting
Neon indicator does not illuminate when switched on
Verify that the spur is correctly wired to the circuit and that the fuse is seated properly; if the fuse is intact and wires are secure, the internal lamp may be faulty.
The switch feels loose or does not click into place
Check that the faceplate is perfectly level and not being flexed by an uneven wall surface, which can misalign the internal switch mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is intended for standard UK flush-mount or surface-mount back boxes. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with current wiring regulations (BS 7671). When installing, use a soft cloth to protect the antique brass faceplate from tool marks. To maintain the finish over time, clean only with a soft, dry cloth; avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, polishes, or harsh chemicals that could strip the brass coating. Ensure all terminal screws are tightened firmly during installation to prevent arcing.
