Product Specifications

Trinity Range Integration

The Trinity RSA Single Switched Socket 4X4 is a key part of the Trinity ecosystem. Its 4x4 format is designed to be installed alongside other 4x4 devices, such as multi-gang switches and isolators, to create a fully integrated and visually consistent control and power station.

Ideal Use

This 4x4 single socket is the perfect choice for locations where a single, robust power outlet is needed and a strong, modern aesthetic is desired.

• Feature Walls: Use as a standalone power point where its bold, symmetrical design can be appreciated.
• Kitchens & Sculleries: Ideal for dedicated outlets for single, high-use appliances like a fridge, freezer, or dishwasher.
• Workshops & Garages: Provides a durable, easy-to-access power outlet for heavy-duty power tools and equipment.
• Commercial Spaces: A stylish and robust choice for offices, retail stores, and public areas where a single power point is required.
• Next to Multi-Gang Switches: Install alongside a 4x4 multi-gang switch to create a matching, high-functionality control zone.
• Areas Requiring Easy Access: The spacious design is beneficial in environments like workshops or for elderly users where ease of plugging and unplugging is important.

Tips

• Requires a 4x4 Wall Box: It is crucial to note that this socket requires a square 4x4 (100x100mm) wall box for installation. It will not fit in a standard rectangular 4x2 box.
• Plug Compatibility: This socket is designed for the large, triangular 3-pin SANS 164-1 plug. It is not compatible with the new compact SANS 164-2 plugs ("New ZA"), Schuko, or Euro plugs.
• Safety First: Always ensure that the power supply to the circuit is completely turned off at the main distribution board before starting any installation work.
• Achieve a Perfect Finish: A spirit level is essential during installation to ensure the 4x4 socket is mounted perfectly level. Any slight angle will be highly noticeable on a socket of this size.
• Cleaning and Maintenance: To clean the faceplate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or chemical sprays, as these can permanently damage the polycarbonate finish.
