Product Information

Full details

This Deta Switched Spur Connection Unit is designed for electricians and homeowners needing a reliable 13-amp power outlet with an integrated switch. Its primary benefit is providing a safe, switched connection point for appliances that are hardwired or don't have their own power switch, such as boilers or extractor fans. A minor caveat is that it lacks a flex outlet on the plate, meaning it's best suited for permanent wiring. The unit features a highly polished chrome finish with a white insert, manufactured to BS 1363/4 standards for assured quality and safety.
