FAQs

What is the total USB-C output?

The dual USB-C ports provide a combined total output of 3.1A.

Do I need a special backbox for this socket?

No, these sockets are designed to fit a standard double UK backbox.

Can I use these sockets for high-power appliances?

Yes, each socket has a 13A switched rating, suitable for most standard household appliances. Always check the appliance's power requirement.

How do I clean the Antique Brass finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Are these sockets available in other finishes?

Loops offers a wider range of wall plates and wiring accessories in matching finishes. Please check the product range for other available options.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is similar to a standard UK socket. However, electrical work should only be performed by individuals with the necessary knowledge and qualifications, or by a certified electrician.

Troubleshooting

Socket or USB-C port not providing power.

Check that the main power is switched on at the consumer unit. Ensure the socket is correctly wired and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the device being plugged in or charged is functioning correctly.

Slow charging speed from USB-C ports.

The combined output for the dual USB-C ports is 3.1A. If both ports are in use, the power will be shared. For devices requiring very high wattage charging, a dedicated fast charger may be necessary. Ensure the USB-C cable is in good condition.

Switch feels stiff or loose.

This may indicate an internal issue. If the product is new, contact the retailer. If it is older, and you are comfortable with electrical work, check the switch mounting, otherwise, professional inspection is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sockets are designed to replace existing standard double UK backbox sockets. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting installation. Connect the live, neutral, and earth wires to the appropriate terminals. The integrated USB-C ports are powered directly from the mains and require no separate connection.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard UK mains plugs. The dual USB-C ports provide a 3.1A total output, suitable for charging most smartphones, tablets, and other USB-C powered devices. Requires a standard double UK wall box for mounting.

Care: To clean, ensure power is isolated. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the Antique Brass finish. Ensure no moisture enters the USB-C ports or socket outlets.
