Product Information

Full details

The Varilight 13A Switched Fused Spur (XV6D) is an ideal choice for homeowners, electricians, and DIY enthusiasts looking to manage high-powered appliances like washing machines or central heating controllers with a secure, switched connection. Finished in a classic gold tone from the Victorian range, this unit offers a blend of professional aesthetic and reliable double-pole switching safety; however, it requires a minimum 25mm deep wall box, which may necessitate an upgrade in older properties with shallower back boxes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard 25mm deep wall box to accommodate the depth of the unit. Ensure that power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning any wiring. Once installed, the gold finish can be maintained by wiping with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or chemicals that could degrade the finish. Always ensure that the fuse carrier is fully closed to maintain the electrical integrity of the connection. If the unit ever requires a fuse replacement, ensure the replacement is the correct 25.4x6.4mm size and rated for 13A.
