Full details
The Varilight Flex Outlet Plate in Brushed Brass is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a polished, professional solution for managing fixed appliance wiring.

What are the exact dimensions of the plate?

Is this suitable for use in a bathroom?
You must ensure the placement complies with zone regulations for electrical fittings in wet rooms; consult an electrician for specific placement guidance.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Yes, standard color-matched mounting screws are typically included with the unit.
What type of insert does this plate have?

Troubleshooting
Plate does not sit flush against the wall
Ensure the internal wiring is pushed neatly into the back box and verify that the mounting screws are not overtightened or cross-threaded.
Visible tarnishing on the finish
Gently clean the surface with a dry, microfiber cloth. Avoid acidic or ammonia-based cleaners which can react with the brass plating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations. Before starting, ensure the power is fully isolated at the consumer unit. The unit is designed to fit standard UK wall boxes; check that your existing back box depth is sufficient for the 34mm profile. For care, wipe the brushed brass surface with a soft, dry cloth periodically to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or chemical sprays, as these can dull the metallic finish over time.
