Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this plate on uneven plaster walls?
It is not recommended. Because flat plates are incredibly thin, they do not bend or cover up wall imperfections. They are best fitted to flat, smooth, newly plastered walls.
Do I need a deeper back box for this USB socket?
Yes. Because of the built-in USB transformer modules inside the plate, you will need a back box that is at least 35mm deep.
Are the installation screws included in the package?
Yes, color-matched satin chrome fixing screws are supplied in the box.
What Else Do You Need With This?
To install this socket, you will need to purchase the following items separately:
- A 35mm (or deeper) Single Back Box: Because the flat-plate design leaves very little room behind the plate and the USB modules require depth, you need a minimum 35mm back box (either metal flush for masonry or dry-lining for plasterboard).
- A Moisture Gasket (if installing on fresh plaster): A thin plastic gasket protects the satin chrome plate from chemical tarnishing while new walls dry out.
- Matching Heritage Brass Elite Flat Plate Accessories: To maintain a cohesive look throughout your room, you will likely want to pair this with matching Satin Chrome light switches, double sockets, and dimmer switches from the same T03 range.
