FAQs

Are these sockets suitable for outdoor use?

No, these are standard indoor-rated sockets and are not moisture or dust resistant.

Can I use these with a single backbox?

No, this is a 2-gang unit and requires a double-sized backbox.

What does double pole mean?

It means the switch breaks both the live and neutral connections, which is safer for maintenance.

What is the maximum amperage?

These are rated for 13A, which is the standard for UK domestic plug sockets.

Do these come with screws?

Yes, standard mounting screws are typically included with the faceplates.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or lacks 'click'

Ensure the wall plate is screwed tightly to the backbox; if the mechanical action remains poor, the internal spring mechanism may be damaged and the unit should be replaced.

Plug does not insert easily

Check the socket interior for debris or plastic molding defects; ensure the pins on your plug are not bent or damaged.

Socket is loose on the wall

Check the mounting screws are tightened to the backbox lugs; if the wall is uneven, use a wall plate spacer for a flush finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Standard form factor for easy installation
  • Double pole safety isolation
  • Clean and minimalist white finish
  • Reliable mechanical switch action
  • Cost-effective multipack value

Cons

  • No integrated USB charging ports
  • Basic white plastic aesthetic
  • Does not include mounting screws in all regions (check packaging)
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas without correct gaskets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations. Ensure the mains power is completely isolated at the consumer unit before removing old faceplates. The units are compatible with standard UK recessed backboxes. For cleaning, use only a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, bleach, or abrasive pads, as these can yellow or damage the plastic finish over time. Periodically check that the terminal screws remain tight to prevent arcing.
