Product Information

Full details

The Varilight 13A Unswitched Fused Spur is designed for electricians, DIY enthusiasts, and homeowners seeking a reliable, sleek connection for high-current fixed appliances. It offers a professional aesthetic with its silver finish and bevelled edges, providing durable performance for demanding electrical circuits. The primary caveat is that this unit is an unswitched design, meaning it does not feature an on/off rocker for localized isolation, so users must ensure downstream appliances are managed appropriately.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this unit include an on/off switch?

No, this is an unswitched fused spur, meaning it remains powered as long as the circuit is live.

What size wall box is required?

You need a wall box with a minimum depth of 25mm for proper installation.

Can I use this for my electric shower?

No, electric showers typically require a higher-rated isolation switch; this unit is rated for 13A.

Is the fuse replaceable?

Yes, the unit features a slide-out drawer or cover to access and replace the 13A fuse.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, it is covered by a 10-year guarantee from Varilight.

What are the dimensions of the faceplate?

The faceplate is a standard single plate measuring 91mm x 91mm.

Troubleshooting

Appliance is not receiving power

Check if the internal 13A fuse has blown; if so, replace it with a compatible 13A fuse.

Faceplate feels loose against the wall

Ensure the back box is securely mounted in the wall and the mounting screws are tightened evenly.

Discoloration on the faceplate

Check that the terminal screws are not overtightened or loose, as poor connections can cause excessive heat which may affect the plate finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek and professional silver finish
  • Highly durable construction backed by a 10-year guarantee
  • Standardized 91mm x 91mm plate size for easy replacements
  • Reliable high-current capacity for fixed appliances

Cons

  • Unswitched design lacks localized on/off functionality
  • Requires a specific 25mm deep wall box for flush installation
  • Silver finish may show fingerprints more easily than white plastic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a wall box with a minimum depth of 25mm to accommodate the wiring and the rear profile of the spur. Before beginning, ensure the power supply is isolated at the main consumer unit. For ongoing maintenance, simply wipe the silver faceplate with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the metallic finish. Always ensure that the fuse is seated correctly and that all terminal screws are tightened securely during installation to prevent heating at the connection points.
