FAQs

What is the total amperage rating for the USB ports?

The product description does not specify a total amperage rating for the USB ports. They are designed for general charging of multiple devices, but for high-power fast charging, individual device chargers may be faster.

Can I replace the front plate with a different finish?

The front plate is part of the unit's design and is not typically designed for easy replacement with different finishes.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase documentation.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is designed for indoor use only and is not rated for outdoor environments.

How many devices can I charge via USB simultaneously?

You can charge up to three USB devices simultaneously, provided their combined power requirements do not exceed the USB ports' capacity.

Does this socket require a specific type of back box?

Due to its slimline profile, it may require a deeper back box than standard sockets if your existing one is shallow.

Troubleshooting

Standard sockets not working.

Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse for this socket is engaged. Check wiring connections by a qualified electrician.

USB ports not charging devices.

Verify that the main switch socket is receiving power. Try a different USB cable and device to rule out cable or device issues. Check if the USB ports are overloaded; disconnect other devices if necessary.

Unit feels loose after installation.

Turn off power at the mains. Tighten the fixing screws securing the unit to the back box. Ensure the back box itself is securely fixed to the wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern and stylish polished chrome finish.
  • Conveniently integrates 3 USB charging ports, reducing clutter.
  • Slimline design complements contemporary interior decor.
  • Provides both standard socket outlets and USB charging options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a mains electrical product and should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing any work. Due to its slimline design, verify that the existing electrical back box is deep enough to accommodate the unit and wiring. If not, a suitable deeper back box may be required.

Compatibility: The twin sockets are compatible with standard UK 13 Amp plugs. The 3 USB ports are compatible with most USB-powered devices, including smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, and other small electronics. Check device specifications for USB charging requirements.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean the unit regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth.
