The Soho Lighting Company White Metal Flat Plate 13A Switched Fused Spur - White

A Switched Fuse Connection Unit (FCU) provides a fused connection point for an appliance and includes an integrated switch. This allows you to safely isolate the appliance from the mains power supply directly at the wall, offering more control and safety than a standard fused spur.

This 13A FCU is suitable for appliances that typically have a fused plug and draw up to 13 amps, such as washing machines, dishwashers, tumble dryers, boilers, or televisions. Always check the appliance's power requirements and ensure it does not exceed the 13A rating.

Installation of electrical components should ideally be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Basic electrical knowledge is required.

Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the power is switched off before cleaning.

The screwless design provides a cleaner, more modern, and minimalist look by hiding the fixing screws. This creates a flush, seamless appearance against the wall that complements contemporary interior design.

While it has a moisture-resistant gasket, bathroom installations must comply with specific electrical safety regulations (e.g., IP ratings and zone requirements). It's crucial to consult these regulations and a qualified electrician to determine suitability for specific bathroom zones.

This unit is supplied with a standard 13A fuse. The fuse can be replaced with another 13A fuse if necessary. For appliances requiring a different fuse rating (e.g., 5A), a different type of fused connection unit would be required.

Check that the circuit breaker or fuse for the circuit is on. Verify the appliance switch on the FCU is in the 'on' position. Ensure the appliance plug is correctly seated and the fuse within the FCU plug/appliance is intact and of the correct rating. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Ensure no debris is obstructing the switch. If the stiffness persists, there may be an internal issue; consult a qualified electrician.

Ensure the backbox is securely fixed to the wall and the FCU mounting screws are tightened appropriately. If the backbox itself is loose, it may need to be re-secured.
