Full details

This Soho Lighting Antique Brass Shaver Socket is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of traditional aesthetics and modern functionality, particularly those with existing brass fixtures in their kitchens or bathrooms. Its key benefit lies in its authentic, aged brass finish that complements period styles and resists fingerprints, offering a warm, durable solution for high-traffic areas. A potential consideration is that the specific antique brass finish may not suit all contemporary interior designs. This product offers a robust, screwless design with a black insert, ensuring a clean look and easy installation.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the black insert?

The black insert provides a stylish contrast to the antique brass finish and is a common design element in shaver sockets.

Can I use this socket for any electrical appliance?

This socket is specifically designed for low-power appliances like electric shavers and toothbrushes. Always check the power rating of your appliance to ensure compatibility and safety.

How do I clean the antique brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.

What does 'screwless' mean in this context?

It means that the visible part of the socket (the faceplate) has no visible screws; it clips onto the backplate for a cleaner, more streamlined appearance.

Is this socket suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, it is designed with a moisture-resistant gasket making it suitable for bathroom environments, provided it is installed correctly by a qualified electrician.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 15-year guarantee for additional peace of mind.

What kind of backbox should I use?

This shaver socket is compatible with standard UK electrical backboxes.

Troubleshooting

Socket not providing power

Ensure the power supply to the circuit is on. Check that the appliance plug is fully inserted. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician to check the wiring.

Finish appears dull or discolored

This may be due to improper cleaning. Use only a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. If discoloration is severe, professional assessment may be needed.

Faceplate feels loose

Ensure the faceplate is properly clipped into place. If the clipping mechanism is damaged, contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.

  • Backed by a 15-year guarantee for customer confidence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shaver socket is designed for standard mains electrical wiring. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. The screwless design means the faceplate simply clips on after the main unit is wired into the backbox.

Compatibility: This unit is compatible with standard UK electrical backboxes. It is intended for use with low-power appliances such as electric shavers and electric toothbrushes. Ensure the appliance's power requirements do not exceed the socket's rating.

Care: To maintain the antique brass finish, clean the socket with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plating and aged effect. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a clean, soft cloth. Ensure the socket is completely dry before use.
