The Evolve 13A Switched Fused Spur in Satin Brass provides safe, convenient control for fixed appliances like boilers, dishwashers, underfloor heating, or extractor fans. A fused spur connects an appliance directly to the mains via its own dedicated fuse (usually 3A, 5A, or 13A), protecting both the cable and the appliance from overload. The integrated power indicator light (neon) shows at a glance whether the spur is live – invaluable for hidden appliances under worktops or in cupboards. The flex outlet allows the appliance’s cable to exit neatly from the bottom of the unit, keeping installation tidy and professional. Finished in warm satin brass with a compact H:86mm x W:86mm footprint, this spur blends safety with sophisticated design.
Unlike a standard socket, a fused spur is hardwired, meaning there’s no plug to pull out – the switch isolates the appliance completely for safe maintenance or emergency shut-off. This makes it ideal for integrated kitchen appliances where access to a plug is difficult. The screwless faceplate clips on for a flush, seamless appearance, and the 20A 16AX internal rating ensures reliable switching even with electronic loads. Whether you’re fitting a new kitchen, upgrading a utility room, or simply replacing tired white plastic spurs, this satin brass unit delivers both peace of mind and premium aesthetics.
Choosing this Evolve fused spur means you no longer have to hide unsightly white plastic switches in an otherwise beautifully designed kitchen or living area. The satin brass finish complements handle-less cabinetry, stone worktops, and warm wood tones, making the spur a subtle design feature rather than an eyesore. The neon indicator is a practical bonus – no more guessing whether the appliance is truly off before reaching behind a washing machine or into a dark cupboard. And because the flex outlet is integrated, you avoid messy dangling cables. For homeowners, landlords, or specifiers who care about both safety and style, this switched fused spur is the smart, elegant choice.

1. What size fuse should I use in this spur?
The spur comes with a 13A fuse as standard. However, you should match the fuse to the appliance’s cable and power rating:
3A – for low-power appliances (boilers, extractor fans, underfloor heating controls)
5A – for medium appliances (dishwashers, waste disposals)
13A – for high-power appliances (ovens, large fridges, but check manufacturer instructions)
2. Can I plug an appliance into this spur?
No. A fused spur is hardwired – there is no socket. The appliance’s flex cable enters through the flex outlet and is wired directly into the spur’s load terminals. For a socket with a fuse, you would need a switched fused spur with a socket (a different product).
3. What does the neon indicator light tell me?
The neon light illuminates when the spur is switched on and live. When you turn the switch off, the neon goes out, confirming the appliance is fully isolated. This is especially useful for appliances hidden in cupboards or under worktops.
4. Can I use this spur for a boiler that requires a permanent live?
It depends on the boiler. Many modern boilers require a permanent live for timers or frost protection. A switched spur will cut all power. If your boiler needs constant power, you may need an unswitched fused spur or a separate permanent feed. Consult your boiler manual and an electrician.
5. My existing spur is wider – will this fit?
This unit fits a standard single gang back box (86mm wide). If your existing spur is a double-width unit (e.g., with a separate switch and flex outlet), you may need to replace the back box or use a surface pattress. Check your existing plate dimensions before ordering.
