No. This socket is designed for 5A round-pin plugs used in lighting circuits and is not rated for standard 13A domestic appliances.
The socket is rated for a maximum load of 1150W.
Yes, it typically includes the necessary fixing screws for mounting to a standard back box.
The faceplate measures 95mm x 95mm.
The product features a durable finish, but it should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth and kept away from corrosive chemicals to maintain its appearance.
Verify the lamp plug is securely inserted and check the corresponding circuit breaker or lighting switch is turned on.
Check that the fixing screws are properly tightened to the back box, but do not overtighten as this may cause the plate to warp.
Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical wiring regulations. This unit fits into a standard single-gang wall box. When installing, ensure the mounting surface is flat to prevent deforming the brass faceplate. For care, gently wipe the faceplate with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or harsh chemicals as these can strip the finish and damage the aesthetic of the Georgian brass texture.
