FAQs

Does this socket come with a warranty?

Yes, it includes a 10-year guarantee for added peace of mind regarding quality and longevity.

Can I install this in a 25mm deep back box?

Yes, this socket is compatible with standard UK wall back boxes ranging from 25mm to 35mm in depth.

What is the benefit of a double-pole switch?

Double-pole switches disconnect both the live and neutral conductors, which is safer for appliances that involve heating elements or motors.

Is the gasket necessary?

Yes, the plastic gasket is essential for providing insulation between the metal plate and the wall, which is a key safety requirement.

Can this be used in a bathroom?

No, this socket is not IP-rated for bathroom or high-moisture use and must be kept in dry interior environments.

Troubleshooting

Socket feels loose against the wall

Check the mounting screws are tightened to the back box; if the back box is set too deep, use mounting spacers.

Appliance does not power on

Verify the switch is in the 'on' position and check the fuse in the appliance plug; ensure the wall socket is correctly wired to the mains.

Visible marks or fingerprints on the plate

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth moving in the direction of the brushed spiral effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that the power is isolated at the mains consumer unit before attempting any installation work. This socket is compatible with standard UK wall boxes between 25mm and 35mm. When installing, use the provided plastic gasket to ensure the metal plate is properly insulated from the wall surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals on the brass plate, as these can strip the finish; instead, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain the spiral texture. If the socket becomes loose over time, use the provided colour-coded screws to tighten the mounting, ensuring you do not overtighten, which could crack the faceplate.
