Product Information

Full details

The BT Master Single Telephone Socket in matt black is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, reliable connection point for PSTN telephone lines. It offers a sleek aesthetic that integrates seamlessly with modern decor while ensuring stable connectivity. One caveat to consider is that as a master socket, it is specifically engineered for the primary entry point of your telephone line, and users should ensure their network configuration supports a single master installation to avoid signal interference.

Can I install this socket myself?

If you are replacing an existing face plate and are comfortable with simple wiring, it is straightforward. However, if you are unsure about the telephone line configuration, consult a professional electrician.

Does it fit a standard UK back box?

Yes, it is designed with a standard 86mm x 86mm size to fit most common UK wiring back boxes.

How do I clean the matt black surface?
