What you need to know

(Click image to enlarge. Pictures for illustration only. Number of gangs and/or finishes might vary)
What does an electrician call this?
This is a 1-gang 2-pole 13A socket or 2-gang 2-pole 13A socket
Where is this used in the home?
13A fused spurs are used for powerful electrical appliances, such as washing machines and dish washers that need to be installed without a plug; they are also used for electrical items that need to be installed on a separate cable from the ring main, for safety and maintenance purposes
Installation
Gira British Standard wiring accessories are straightforward to install. The insert is connected and screwed into the back box, the frame is placed over the insert and the cover is pushed into four slots in the insert, securing the frame. Finally the rocker switch cover (if you are installing a switched version) is pushed onto the insert.
Please refer to our Installation section for more installation advice, manuals and helpful videos.
Dimensions
Does this cover a standard UK back box?

How deep does the back box need to be?
This insert is quite deep, it needs at least 45mm. Check the available options below.
The concept
In case we here at Swtch needed any more proof that even humble white plastic accessories can transform an interior, along comes the E3 range from Gira in Germany.
This purists’ cousin of the E3 Soft Touch range and its earthy neutrals – for example in grey or dark brown varieties – combines gentle contours with a clean white glossy finish.
The detail
The gently curved contours of E3 White are not unlike Berker’s R.1 design, but feature a more geometric, rectangular centre and a dividing line on the side of the frame.
A BASIC BUT ELEGANT DESIGN THAT SOFTLY SPEAKS VOLUMES
