Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and electricians seeking a stylish and functional fused connection unit. The primary benefit is its antique brass finish, which complements period interiors and resists fingerprints, offering a blend of aesthetics and practicality. A potential caveat is that its specific finish may not suit all modern decor styles. This unit provides a 13A double-pole switched fused connection with a neon indicator, featuring a screwless antique brass plate designed for easy installation and a clean look.

FAQs

What type of fuse should I use?

This unit requires a standard 13A fuse, which should be appropriate for the appliance being connected.

Does it come with a fuse?

No, the fuse is not included with the unit and must be purchased separately.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, this unit is designed for indoor use only and does not have an IP rating for outdoor protection.

Can I install this myself?

Due to the mains electrical nature of this product, installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

What is the difference between single pole and double pole switching?

Double pole switching disconnects both the live and neutral wires simultaneously, offering a higher level of safety compared to single pole switching which only disconnects the live wire.

How do I clean the antique brass finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to maintain the finish.

What is the guarantee period?

The unit comes with a 15-year guarantee for peace of mind.

Troubleshooting

Neon light does not illuminate

Check that the fuse is correctly inserted and has not blown. Ensure the switch is in the 'on' position. Verify that power is supplied to the unit by a qualified electrician.

Unit is not powering connected appliance

Confirm the fuse rating is correct for the appliance. Check the switch position. Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Consult a qualified electrician.

Plate does not sit flush

Ensure the unit is mounted on a standard, correctly installed UK back box. Check for any obstructions behind the plate. Ensure all fixing screws are tightened evenly.
