Review: BG Electrical Double Switched Power Plug - This is one of those everyday electrical fittings that you don’t think much about until you install it, but the difference in finish and feel compared to cheaper options becomes obvious fairly quickly - feels high quality, and durable. The overall design looks clean and understated, with a profile that sits neatly against the wall without sticking out too far. Switches have a firm, positive click without feeling stiff, which gives a reassuring sense of quality during daily use. The sockets themselves hold plugs securely, with no looseness or wobble - works incredibly well. The faceplate finish gives it a more contemporary appearance compared to standard white plastic sockets, making it suitable if you’re updating a room or trying to keep fixtures consistent with a modern interior. Edges are smooth and well finished, so it doesn’t feel sharp or industrial. Installation is straightforward for anyone experienced with electrical fittings, and the internal layout allows enough space to work without feeling overly cramped. If I had to mention anything, it’s that metal faceplates can show fingerprints slightly more than matte plastic alternatives, so occasional cleaning keeps it looking fresh. Overall, a well-designed double socket that focuses on everyday usability and a cleaner visual finish rather than unnecessary extras. Review: Great value. - Excellent quality sockets at a very keen price. Well made, easy to fit and look great. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004TRJYE8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 194 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1 in Wall Electrical Outlets | | Brand | British General | | Circuit Type | 2-way | | Colour | Brushed Steel | | Connector Type | Screws | | Contact Material | Brass, Copper | | Contact Type | Normally Open | | Control Method | Push Button | | Country Of Origin | China | | Current Rating | 13 Amps | | Current rating | 13 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,117 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 25 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05050765018890 | | Included Components | socket | | Item Dimensions | 14.6 x 8.6 x 0.1 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Double Metal Brushed Steel Switched Power Socket | | Item Weight | 0.18 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Nexus (Jiaxing) | | Material | Metal | | Model Number | NBS22G-01 | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Positions | 13 | | Operating Voltage | 240 Volts | | Operation Mode | ON-OFF | | Operation mode | ON-OFF | | Specification Met | BS 1363 | | Switch Type | Rocker | | Terminal | Screw | | Unit Count | 1.0 gram | | Wattage | 3250 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** British General - **Connector type:** Screws - **Contact type:** Normally Open - **Current rating:** 13 Amps - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 14.6 x 8.6 x 0.1 centimetres - **Material:** Metal - **Operating voltage:** 240 Volts - **Operation mode:** ON-OFF - **Switch type:** Rocker - **Terminal:** Screw ## Images ![BG Electrical Double Switched Power Socket, Brushed Steel, 13 Amp - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gP4695NoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Could you tell me if I need a 25mm or 35mm deep back box?** A: Unit I received from Amazon needs 45mm of clearance, which was disappointing since the prior unit had a 35mm box. **Q: Do these have the ce mark on them, i.e are they tested to conform to uk/eu electrical regulation standards - and not some cheap chinese version...** A: The Nexus Metal range is manufactured by British General (BG), all are CE marked and ASTA approved. **Q: Exactly what i'm looking for but . . . . . do they do this with black inserts ?** A: Hi Yes you can get them with black inserts Regards Alan **Q: What is the difference between the 2 way/nbs22g-01 and the 2-way/matt chrome? its says brushed steel in the main description so a bit confused.** A: Hi David Bushed Steel in the description is exactly the same finish as Brushed Chrome.
