FAQs

Can I install this socket myself?

It is strongly recommended that this socket is installed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with electrical safety regulations.

Does the USB port work if the switch is off?

No, the USB ports are integrated into the switched circuit; the switch must be in the 'on' position for the USB ports to receive power.

What is the total output of the USB ports?

The two ports share a total output of 2100mA.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is designed for indoor residential settings only.

How deep of a back box is required?

A minimum back box depth of 47mm is recommended for proper fitting.

Troubleshooting

USB ports not charging devices

Ensure the main wall switch is turned on, as the USB ports are powered by the mains supply through the unit.

Socket feels loose in the wall

Verify that the back box is firmly secured in the wall and that the screwless plate is correctly aligned and snapped into the back frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern, screwless aesthetic enhances room decor
  • Dual USB ports eliminate the need for extra charging adapters
  • Slim 9mm profile offers a professional and unobtrusive look
  • Complies with rigorous BS EN 1363 safety standards

Cons

  • Requires a deep 47mm back box for proper installation
  • USB output is shared, which may slow charging if both ports are used simultaneously
  • Requires professional electrical installation due to safety requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. The unit requires a back box with a minimum depth of 47mm to provide sufficient room for the wiring and the rear casing. The 120mm fixing centres align with standard UK socket boxes. For daily care, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the glossy faceplate; avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents which may scratch or damage the finish. Ensure all terminal screws are tightened securely during the initial setup to prevent heating caused by loose connections.
