Schneider 13A Metal Clad Double Switched Socket GMC132SS is an option among wall switches and sockets at Bashiti Stores, designed to equip daily use points within wall wiring. The function of this piece is a "metal switched double socket," so start by matching its function with the required point. The term "two-way" describes a switch with two directions, "intermediate" is a different function, and a blanking plate is neither a switch nor a socket.
Practical Benefits
- Defining the function and number of gangs helps in selecting the right piece without confusing switches, sockets, and blanking plates.
- Choosing a unified series allows for coordinating the appearance of electrical points in a room or project.
- Having a clear reference for the piece makes it easy to order the correct replacement during maintenance or expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions 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 a location exposed to water?
It is not intended for such use. Check the IP rating and installation conditions for the model, and choose appropriate equipment for the location in the presence of humidity or direct exposure to water.
What should I check when replacing?
Match the function, voltage, and current when a rating is present, then check the terminal type, series, and dimensions. Do not rely on the shape alone to identify a replacement.
