No, this is a 5 Amp socket designed specifically for lighting circuits and low-power devices. It is not suitable for 13 Amp appliances.
No, this product requires a minimum back box depth of 25mm for safe installation.
While the Matt Chrome finish is durable, like all metallic surfaces, it may show fingerprints; it can be easily cleaned with a dry cloth.
This product comes with a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
If you are comfortable with basic electrical wiring and isolating power, it is a straightforward DIY task, but if you are unsure, please consult a qualified electrician.
Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened and verify that the back box is properly recessed into the wall surface.
Ensure the lighting circuit breaker is switched on and check that the plug is fully inserted into the round pin socket.
Check the alignment of the faceplate screws and ensure no wires are trapped behind the plate, which can prevent it from sitting flush.
To install this socket, ensure the mains power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. This socket requires a standard UK back box with a minimum depth of 25mm to accommodate the wiring terminals. When installing, ensure all wires are firmly secured in their respective terminals to prevent overheating. For care, simply wipe the Matt Chrome faceplate with a clean, dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the finish of the chrome.
