FAQs

What type of backbox is required?

This socket is designed to fit a standard single UK backbox, which is typically 35mm deep. The backbox is not included with the socket.

Can this be used for broadband connections?

Yes, this master socket is suitable for connecting broadband modems and routers, provided your line supports broadband services.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface clean. For tougher marks, a mild, non-abrasive soap can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with a damp cloth and drying with a separate soft cloth.

Is this a single or double socket?

This is a single socket designed for one BT telephone line connection.

Does this product come in other finishes?

The product information indicates it is part of a range that matches other home interior furnishings. Specific finishes would need to be checked for other listings within the Loops range.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase details for specific warranty terms.

Troubleshooting

No dial tone after installation

Verify that the incoming telephone wires are correctly connected to the terminals. Ensure the backbox is securely fitted and the socket is properly seated. Check that the main telephone line is active and functioning.

Intermittent connection or poor call quality

Inspect all wire connections for looseness or corrosion. Ensure there are no kinks or damage to the incoming telephone cable. Try connecting a different, known-good telephone to rule out an issue with the handset.

Socket feels loose on the wall

Check that the screws securing the socket to the backbox are tightened properly. Ensure the backbox itself is firmly mounted to the wall.
