FAQs

What type of aerial connection does this socket support?

This socket is designed for standard TV and FM aerial connections.

What is the benefit of the screwless design?

The screwless design provides a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding the mounting screws, making it ideal for contemporary interior design.

What is the minimum depth required for the mounting box?

A minimum mounting box depth of 25mm is required for installation.

Is this socket suitable for satellite TV connections?

No, this socket is specifically designed for terrestrial TV and FM radio aerials, not satellite connections.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean the surface using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the finish.

What warranty is provided with this product?

BG Electrical offers a 25-year manufacturer's warranty on this product.

Can I use this socket for multiple TV outputs?

This is a single coaxial socket. For multiple outputs, you would need additional sockets or a signal splitter connected further up the aerial cable run.

Troubleshooting

No TV or Radio signal after installation.

Verify the aerial cable is securely connected to the coaxial socket's terminal. Ensure the aerial itself is correctly positioned and functioning. Check that the power to the circuit is on and that the fuse/breaker has not tripped.

Poor signal quality (e.g., pixelation, static).

Inspect the aerial cable for any damage or kinks. Ensure the coaxial connector is properly seated. Test with a different coaxial cable to rule out cable issues. The aerial itself may require repositioning or a signal booster.

Front plate is difficult to clip on/off.

Ensure no obstructions are present around the edge of the socket or plate. Align the plate carefully with the clips and apply gentle, even pressure. If damaged, contact customer support.
