Yes, it is designed for installation into standard UK recessed wall boxes.
Double pole switching disconnects both the live and neutral wires, which is safer as it eliminates the risk of live current remaining in an appliance that is switched off.
Clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the metallic finish.
No, this is a standard socket and is not rated for use in bathrooms or wet zones.
Yes, the unit includes the necessary color-matched screws for mounting the faceplate.
Verify the switch is in the 'ON' position and check the appliance plug fuse. Confirm the circuit breaker at the distribution board has not tripped.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened evenly. If the wall box is recessed too deeply, use appropriate mounting spacers to bring the socket flush with the wall surface.
Installation: This socket requires a standard UK-style wall box. Always ensure the mains power is completely isolated at the consumer unit before beginning installation. If you are not comfortable working with high-voltage electricity, consult a qualified electrician.
Compatibility: This unit is designed for standard 13A mains circuits. Ensure your existing back box depth is sufficient to accommodate the wiring terminals.
Care: To maintain the Iridium Black finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away dust. If a deeper clean is required, use a cloth lightly dampened with water and buff immediately to prevent water spots.
