Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I install this in a standard 35mm back box?

No, this unit specifically requires a 47mm or deeper back box to house the USB components safely.

Does the USB port provide fast charging?

The ports are designed for efficient charging of mobile devices, though charging speeds can depend on the specific power requirements of the connected device.

Is this socket suitable for a bathroom?

No, this product is designed strictly for indoor dry domestic use and should not be installed in bathrooms or areas with high moisture levels.

What is the maximum load of this socket?

This socket is rated for a 13A maximum load, suitable for standard household appliances.

Can I use both USB ports at the same time?

Yes, both the USB-A and USB-C ports are designed to function simultaneously.

Are the screws visible on this socket?

No, the Trendi Switch features a screwless faceplate design for a clean, low-profile look.

Troubleshooting

USB ports failing to charge device

Ensure the socket is switched on and check that the device cable is securely inserted; if it persists, ensure the mains power is active at the breaker.

Faceplate feels loose

Verify that the mounting frame is correctly secured to the back box and that the faceplate is snapped fully into the locking mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile charging with both USB-A and Type C ports
  • Modern screwless faceplate for a seamless look
  • Slim 9mm profile reduces wall protrusion
  • Full compliance with BS EN 1363 safety standards

Cons

  • Requires a deep 47mm back box for installation
  • Not suitable for outdoor or wet-room environments
  • Professional electrical installation is required

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Trendi Switch requires a standard 220/250V AC supply. It is vital to ensure that your existing back box meets the minimum 47mm depth requirement to accommodate the USB circuitry.

Installation Steps:

  1. Always isolate the power at the mains before beginning any electrical work.
  2. Confirm the wall back box depth is at least 47mm.
  3. Secure the electrical wiring according to standard UK electrical color coding.
  4. Attach the faceplate firmly to the mounting frame.

Care Instructions: To maintain the finish, clean the socket with a dry or slightly damp non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using chemical solvents or harsh cleaning sprays, as these may damage the screwless finish.
