Wiring accessory questions

 

What do 1 gang and 2 gang mean?

Gang is the number of outlets or switches on one plate. A 1 gang socket has a single outlet, a 2 gang has two; a 1 gang switch controls one lighting circuit, a 2 gang controls two, and so on. Pick the gang to match how many circuits or sockets you need at that point.

 

What is the difference between single pole and double pole switching?

A single pole switch breaks only the live conductor. A double pole (DP) switch breaks both live and neutral, fully isolating the appliance for safe maintenance. DP is used on cooker control units, fused spurs, water heaters and similar fixed loads.

 

What size back box do I need?

Most slimline sockets and switches fit a standard 25mm box for flush mounting, though deeper fittings like USB sockets and cooker units are more comfortable in a 35mm box. For surface mounting, pair the accessory with a matching white surface box (pattress) instead of chasing into the wall.

 

What is a fused spur and when do I use one?

A fused spur, or fused connection unit, takes a fixed appliance off a ring main with its own cartridge fuse. It is used for boilers, towel rails, extractor fans and other fixed loads. A switched double pole version lets you isolate the appliance for servicing.

 

Can I mix different brands across a job?

Electrically they are interchangeable, as all the ranges are made to the same wiring standards. Visually they are not identical though, as the shade of white and the plate profile differ slightly between brands, so for a consistent look it is best to stick to one range per room or property.
