Ideal Use

This versatile socket is the ideal choice for any location where both old and new plug types are frequently used.

• Kitchens: The perfect solution for countertops, accommodating older appliances (like mixers) and newer ones (like air fryers) simultaneously.
• Living & Entertainment Areas: Ideal for powering a TV or sound system (often RSA plug) alongside smaller chargers and devices (often ZA plug).
• Home Offices & Studies: Provides connectivity for a computer (RSA) and various peripherals and chargers (ZA).
• Bedrooms: A great choice for a main power point, catering to lamps, hairdryers, and modern electronic chargers.
• Guest Rooms & Hospitality: Offers guests the convenience of being able to plug in any of their devices without needing an adapter.
• Renovation Projects: The smartest choice when upgrading outlets, as it provides immediate compatibility for all the user's existing and future appliances.

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.
• Wiring: An electrician will typically run a single set of supply wires (Live, Neutral, Earth) to the unit and bridge them across the terminals of both sockets to provide power to each.
• 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.
• Know Your Plugs: The top socket is for the large, old-style triangular plug, while the bottom socket is for the new, compact, diamond-shaped plug.
