Plug Socket Buying Guide

What does gang mean on a plug socket?

The gang number indicates the number of plug outlets on one faceplate. A 1-gang socket has one outlet, while a 2-gang socket, also known as a double socket, has two outlets.

What is a switched socket?

A switched plug socket has an individual on/off switch beside the outlet. This allows you to turn the power off at the wall without removing the appliance plug.

What amperage are UK plug sockets?

Standard UK plug sockets are commonly rated at 13A and are designed for everyday household electrical appliances. Always check the product specification and installation requirements before fitting.

Should I choose a 1-gang or 2-gang socket?

A 1-gang socket provides one plug outlet, while a 2-gang double socket provides two outlets in the same faceplate. Choose according to the number of appliances you need to power at each location.

Which plug socket finish should I choose?

Choose a finish that coordinates with your switches and other electrical accessories. Antique brass, brass, matt black, satin brass and white are popular choices for traditional and contemporary interiors.

Can I replace my existing plug sockets?

Replacement sockets should be compatible with the existing electrical installation and back box. Check the socket dimensions, fixing arrangement and electrical specification before ordering. Electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable UK wiring regulations, including BS 7671.
