What safety standards does this socket meet?

This socket is certified to BS 1363-2 and EN 61000 standards.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Can I use this socket with a 1.5mm² twin & earth cable?

Yes, the minimum mounting depth is 25-35mm, and it is designed to accommodate standard UK wiring. Always ensure sufficient space for safe termination.

What is the difference between Type-A and Type-C USB?

Is the anti-microbial feature permanent?

Troubleshooting

USB ports not charging devices

Check that the main socket is switched on. Ensure the USB cable is fully inserted. Verify the total current draw does not exceed the 4.8A shared output. Test with a different USB cable and device.

Socket not providing power

Ensure the main fused switch on the socket is in the 'on' position. Check your home's fuse box or circuit breaker. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct.

Unit feels warm during use

A slight warmth during heavy use or charging is normal due to power conversion. If the unit becomes excessively hot, disconnect power immediately and consult a qualified electrician.
