Schneider 13A Switched Single Socket KB15 is a selection among wall switches and sockets at Bashiti Stores, designed for setting up daily-use points within wall wiring. This unit functions as a "switched single socket," so start by matching its function with the required point. The term "two-way" describes a specific switch type, the "intermediate" has a different function, and a blank plate is neither a switch nor a socket.

FAQs Before Buying
Does it fit any electrical box?
The box dimensions, depth, and mounting positions must match this model. Similarity in the number of gangs or color does not guarantee compatibility.
Can it be used outdoors or in an area exposed to water?
It is not intended for such use. Check the IP rating and installation conditions of the model, and choose appropriate equipment for the location if there is humidity or direct water exposure.
What should I check when replacing?
Match the function, voltage, and current when a rating is specified, then check the terminal type, series, and dimensions. Do not rely on shape alone to determine the replacement.
