Specifically designed for bathroom and wet room installations, this isolated output socket provides both 115V (for US\/Japanese shavers) and 230V (for UK\/European devices) via a built-in voltage selector, making it perfect for guest bathrooms, hotels, and family homes where international appliances may be used. The stunning polished chrome finish with colour matched fixing screws creates a cohesive luxury look that complements chrome taps, shower fittings, and other bathroom accessories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis shaver socket is engineered with safety as the top priority, featuring an integrated plastic gasket for moisture protection and an isolating transformer that separates the output from the mains supply – a legal requirement for bathroom shaver sockets under UK wiring regulations (BS 7671). The compact design requires a minimum 47mm mounting box depth and measures 148mm in length, 87mm in height, and 48mm in depth. The colour coded terminals with backed out captive screws simplify installation, while the fixed integrated gasket prevents moisture ingress from splashes or humidity. Whether you are fitting out a new bathroom, renovating an en-suite, or upgrading a tired old shaver point, this polished chrome dual voltage shaver socket delivers essential safety compliance with uncompromising style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Choose This Polished Chrome Dual Voltage Shaver Socket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoosing a dedicated shaver socket over a standard 13A socket in your bathroom is not just about style – it is a legal safety requirement for locations within 3 metres of a bath or shower. Standard sockets are prohibited in these zones, while shaver sockets with isolating transformers are specifically permitted. This polished chrome unit meets those regulations perfectly, providing safe power for electric shavers, toothbrushes, and trimmers. The dual voltage capability is a genuinely useful feature for households with international visitors or appliances purchased abroad – simply select 115V or 230V via the built-in switch. The polished chrome finish with colour matched screws elevates the unit from a purely functional safety device to a genuine design feature, coordinating beautifully with chrome bathroom fixtures. The integrated plastic gasket provides additional moisture protection in humid environments, while the backed out captive screws make installation faster and easier for electricians. For homeowners seeking both safety compliance and luxury aesthetics, this dual voltage shaver socket delivers on every front.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey
