The Varilight Victorian 1-Gang TV Socket is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking to blend traditional aesthetic appeal with modern functional hardware. Its primary benefit is the sophisticated raised profile and classic brass finish, providing a premium visual upgrade over standard plastic switches. However, prospective buyers should note that the 8mm depth of the plate requires a standard wall box installation and may not sit flush against uneven surfaces like ultra-slim contemporary plates.

This is a standard co-axial TV socket designed for terrestrial TV aerials. It is not designed for F-type satellite connections.
The plate is finished to resist tarnish, but regular cleaning with a dry, lint-free cloth is recommended to maintain its luster.
While it can mount to various boxes, the 8mm profile works best with standard-depth boxes to accommodate the coaxial connector comfortably.
This product comes with a 10-year guarantee from Varilight, covering manufacturing defects.
Yes, the product includes the necessary screws for installation to a standard back box.
Ensure the coaxial cable core is properly tightened in the center terminal and that the outer shielding is making firm contact with the ground clamp.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened evenly and ensure no wires are pinched behind the faceplate, preventing it from sitting flush.
To install this socket, ensure you have a standard recessed back box. Since the plate has an 8mm depth, it is recommended to use a standard-depth wall box to ensure the internal connectors sit correctly.
For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or acidic metal cleaners, as these can strip the protective finish on the brass plate.
