The British General NBN21UAC18B-01 is a premium, slim-profile power socket designed for homeowners and contractors looking to modernize their electrical infrastructure with integrated USB charging capabilities. Its standout feature is the inclusion of both Type A and Type C ports with smart fast-charge technology, which intelligently detects and adapts to your device's power requirements for efficient charging. While it offers a sleek aesthetic and high-integrity build, users should note that it requires a minimum mounting box depth of 25mm, making it essential to verify your existing wall box dimensions before installation.

Yes, the smart-charge technology is compatible with most USB-powered devices, including smartphones, tablets, and e-readers.
No, this unit requires a minimum mounting box depth of 25mm to accommodate the internal electronics.
The USB ports are live as long as the mains power to the socket is active, regardless of the position of the manual switch.
The product is backed by a 10-year guarantee against faulty materials and workmanship.
The USB ports are designed primarily for mobile devices and tablets; they may not provide enough wattage to charge high-power laptops effectively.
Yes, the integrated gasket should remain in place to prevent the metal plate from tarnishing due to moisture.
Ensure the socket is switched on and check that the USB cable is fully inserted into the port. Verify the cable is functional by testing it with a different charger.
Check that the mounting screws are properly tightened. If the wall box is too deep or damaged, consider using spacer plates to achieve a flush fit.
Verify that no other high-drain devices are consuming power from the same circuit, and ensure you are using a high-quality data-rated charging cable.
Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician or someone competent in electrical work. Before starting, ensure the power is isolated at the consumer unit. This unit is designed for a flush-fit installation in a standard back box with a minimum depth of 25mm. When wiring, the colour-coded terminals assist in identifying the live, neutral, and earth connections. Maintenance is simple: wipe the front plate with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical sprays, as these can compromise the metal finish and the integrity of the moisture-control gasket. Always confirm the earth connectivity before finalizing the screw installation.
