Frequently Asked Questions
Does this socket require a special back box?
No, it fits standard UK single back boxes, but due to the internal electronics of the USB transformer, it requires a minimum depth of 35mm.
Can I charge two devices simultaneously while using the main plug?
Yes. You can use the 13A socket for appliances while simultaneously charging two USB devices through the USB-A and USB-C ports.
How does the screwless plate attach?
The back assembly wires directly into your wall connections and screws onto the backbox. The front screwless metal plate then clips securely onto the sub-frame for a hidden-fastener look.
