Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice, solid feel, look modern Rather like these, have the square modern look. Also the terminations are well spaced and easy to work with.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Connections small and fitting */- earth connections are small and can be difficult when on a ring there are multiple wires into the rather small apertures. Its a simple small screw tie down, not as good as those that use a clamp to press down. The holes are also rather small. Secondly the position of the backing is relatively high compared to other makes, which does cause a fitting issue in "pre-existing" back boxes that have screw holes on all four sides - had to hammer the top ones back to fit these switches.

Can you please advise me whether you would recommend a single pole or double pole 13A switched socket for normal domestic use.

Asked by: mgmagnate
Hi, thank you for your product enquiry. The decision between Single Pole or Double Pole switching is often a personal one, as both are considered safe. The difference is that SP only disconnects the Live carrier (leaving the Neutral carrier connected, which will allow dissipation of any stored energy if the device has done this) where DP disconnects both. In both cases Earth remains connected whilst the plug is in the socket for safety reasons.

Have been looking at 13a sockets, Not one has the depth of back box required?? can anyone shed some light on this?

Asked by: will18358
Hi, thank you for your product enquiry. These sockets will fit any standard back box (surface or flush mount) which is at least 25mm deep as long as there is not an excess of wiring sharing the box. If there is a lot of extra wire in the box then a 32mm box would be advisable to prevent the socket being pushed away from the box by the wire behind it.
