FAQs

Do I need a special back box for this socket?

This socket is designed to fit standard UK single or double socket back boxes, but it's always recommended to check the dimensions against your existing box during installation.

What is the total Wattage output for the USB ports?

The total maximum output for both USB ports combined is 45W. This power is shared between the two ports when both are in use.

Can I use both USB ports at the same time?

Yes, you can use both the Type A and Type C USB ports simultaneously. The total 45W output will be distributed between the connected devices.

Is the front plate removable for painting?

Yes, the front plate is a screwless, clip-on/off design, making it easy to remove for decorating and then reattach.

What type of USB ports are included?

This socket features one Type A USB port and one Type C USB port.

How long is the warranty period?

The BG Electrical USB range, including this socket, is guaranteed for 10 years against faulty materials and workmanship.

Does this socket require specific wiring?

Standard mains wiring is required. The socket features conveniently angled, in-line, colour-coded captive screw terminals for easy connection, but installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.

Troubleshooting

USB port not charging device

Ensure the device's charging cable is fully inserted into the USB port. Check if the main socket is receiving power. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable/device issues. Verify that the total power draw does not exceed the socket's 45W limit if multiple devices are connected.

Socket not providing power

Check the main fuse or circuit breaker for the socket. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct. Contact a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Slow charging speed

Ensure the device supports fast charging. If charging two devices, the 45W output is shared. Disconnect one device to see if the other charges faster. Check for any obstructions or debris in the USB port.
