Product Information

Full details

The Deta Vimark 13A Unswitched Socket is an ideal choice for homeowners and electrical contractors looking for a reliable, no-frills power point for indoor domestic or commercial environments. Its key benefit lies in its robust, moulded plastic construction and clean, minimalist design that integrates seamlessly with existing Deta Vimark fittings. Please note that as an unswitched unit, it does not provide a local isolation point, requiring power to be managed at the circuit breaker or appliance level.

FAQs

Is this socket suitable for outdoor installation?

No, the Deta Vimark VC1206 is rated for internal use only.

Does this unit include a switch?

No, this is an unswitched model, meaning the power is always 'live' when connected to the circuit.

What is the maximum current rating?

The socket is rated for 13A, which is the standard for UK domestic power outlets.

Can I install this in a standard wall box?

Yes, it is compatible with standard 25mm deep mounting boxes.

Is this part of the broader Deta range?

Yes, it is specifically designed to be consistent with the Deta Vimark styling and profile.

Troubleshooting

Socket fails to provide power

Verify that the corresponding circuit breaker at the consumer unit is in the 'on' position and check all wiring connections at the rear of the socket.

Loose plug connection

Ensure that the plug is fully inserted into the socket face. If the issue persists, inspect the socket terminals for debris or signs of arc damage.

Cons

  • No local on/off switch for power control

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Before beginning, ensure the circuit is fully isolated at the consumer unit. The socket is designed for standard 25mm deep back boxes. For maintenance, ensure the power is off before wiping the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based cleaners, as these may damage the plastic finish over time.
