Standard socket buying guide

What does 'gang' mean on a socket?

The gang is the number of plug outlets on one plate — a 1-gang has a single socket and a 2-gang (double) has two.

What is a switched socket?

A switched socket has a small on/off switch beside each outlet, so you can turn power off at the wall without unplugging the appliance.

What amperage are UK sockets?

Standard UK plug sockets are rated 13A, suitable for everyday household appliances.

Which finish should I choose?

Finishes span antique brass, matt black, satin brass and white — pick one that ties in with your switches for a coordinated scheme.
