A switched fuse spur, or switched connection unit, is used to provide a fused connection point and a means of switching off power to fixed appliances, such as boilers, extractor fans, or water heaters. It offers a safer and more convenient way to control these devices than isolating the entire circuit.
The unit is designed to accept standard BS 1362 fuses. For most fixed appliances, a 13A fuse is common, but you should always refer to the appliance manufacturer's instructions or consult a qualified electrician to determine the correct fuse rating for your specific appliance.
No, this unit is specifically designed for fixed appliances. It is not intended to be used as a general-purpose power socket.
A minimum backbox depth of 35mm is required for installation.
The product description does not specify if a fuse is included. It is standard practice to install the appropriate fuse based on the appliance's requirements.
The product features a slim profile design, but specific dimensions are not provided in the product information. It is designed to fit standard UK single-gang wall boxes.
No, this unit is designed for indoor domestic or office installations only.
Check that the fuse in the spur unit is correctly seated and of the appropriate rating. Verify that the appliance is switched on and functioning. Ensure the main power supply to the circuit is active and that the spur unit is wired correctly. Confirm that the internal switch on the spur is in the 'on' position.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the switch mechanism. If the issue persists, the unit may require replacement. Do not force the switch.
A slight warmth may be normal under heavy load, but excessive heat indicates a potential problem. Check the fuse connection and the wiring connections. If the warmth persists or increases, turn off the power at the consumer unit and consult a qualified electrician immediately.
Setup: This unit requires connection to a fused main switch or a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit. Ensure the power supply is isolated at the consumer unit before attempting any installation. The spur requires a minimum backbox depth of 35mm. Refer to BS 1363 standards and consult a qualified electrician for correct wiring and installation. It is designed for indoor use only.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard UK electrical wiring systems. Ensure the fused connection is appropriate for the appliance being powered, not exceeding the 13A rating. The unit is designed to fit standard UK single-gang backboxes with the specified minimum depth.
Care: To clean the unit, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the unit remains dry and free from moisture.
