This socket is designed to fit a standard single UK electrical backbox, measuring approximately 86mm x 86mm.
This is a master telephone socket designed for voice calls. For broadband, a master socket with an integrated filter or a separate microfilter is typically required.
Basic installation is possible for those comfortable with DIY and low-voltage wiring. However, if you are unsure, it is always recommended to consult a qualified electrician.
The 'screwless' design means that the front plate of the socket attaches without visible screws. It typically clips or snaps into place over the base, providing a cleaner look.
Use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Yes, it is compatible with standard UK telephone wiring and should work with most traditional landline telephones.
Yes, Loops offers a range of wall plates and wiring accessories in various designs and finishes, including matt black, to create a coordinated look in your home.
Verify that the telephone line wires are correctly connected to the terminals on the socket. Ensure the power to the circuit was off during installation and is now back on. Test the connection with a different, known-working telephone device.
Gently press the faceplate around the edges until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the backbox it's mounted on is firmly secured to the wall.
Minor scratches may be buffed out with a very soft cloth. For significant damage, replacement of the faceplate may be necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.
