Description
A range of socket outlets designed for ease of installation and having all the
advantageous design features of the MK range of wiring devices. The 2 gang
sockets with outboard rockers (available in Logic Plus and Albany Plus) are of
particular value for use by the infirm and partially sighted whilst the same feature in
Metalclad Plus is ideal for use with gloved hands.
Non-standard clean earth sockets are for use on installations where restricted
access is required and will only accept a 647WHI 13A non-standard plug with
T-shaped earth pin. The sockets have two independent earth terminals so that they
can also be used for ‘clean earth’ installations. The K2746CE and K2947CE also
have two independent earth terminals for ‘clean earth’ installations.
A variety of sockets (see Technical Specification) are fitted with two earth terminals
on a common busbar to provide a double earth facility for use when installations
require a high integrity protective connection as specified within the latest edition of
BS 7671 which should be referred to for guidance.
The products can be quickly installed as replacement for existing 13A sockets or in
a new installation.
Fuse carriers
(Logic Plus 3 gang switchsocket only)
The fuse carrier is opened by a fast-acting, screwdriver-operated, worm-drive screw
for ease of replacement.
