FAQs

What is a switched fused spur?

A switched fused spur is a connection point in your electrical wiring that allows you to safely isolate a specific appliance from the power supply. It includes a switch to turn the appliance on/off and a fuse to protect the circuit.

Do I need a fuse in this unit?

Yes, this unit is designed to house a 13A fuse, which provides essential protection for the connected appliance and circuit.

What does the neon indicator do?

The neon indicator is a small light that illuminates when the spur is live, showing that power is being supplied to the connected appliance. It helps confirm whether the circuit is active or safely off.

Can I install this myself?

No, for safety reasons and to comply with electrical regulations, this unit should always be installed by a qualified electrician.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Varilight offers a Lifetime Guarantee on this product, covering manufacturing defects.

How do I clean the Georgian Brass finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

What type of appliance is this suitable for?

This 13A switched fused spur is generally suitable for fixed domestic appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, or similar items that draw significant power and require a dedicated fused connection.

Troubleshooting

Neon indicator not lighting up

Ensure the appliance is switched on and drawing power. Check that the fuse is correctly seated and intact. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician to check the wiring and power supply.

Switch feels stiff or loose

If the switch feels unusually stiff, check for any obstructions. If it feels loose, it may require tightening by a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to force a stiff switch.

Unit sparks or emits a burning smell

Immediately turn off the power at the main consumer unit. Do not use the unit. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection and repair or replacement.
