British Standard 13A Double Switched Socket — Glass UK BS Plug Socket with SP or DP Switch
The DN71408/DN71412 double switched socket, developed in Britain, conforms to the British standard 13A regulations making it possible to connect two independent BS1363 power outlets within an 88×146mm wall plate. This UK glass socket offers the standard configuration for double-socket British wiring installations with two 13A sockets with individual rocker switches. DN71408 (SP) is for single-pole switching where one can isolate the live conductor and DN71412 (DP) is for double-pole isolation breaking both the live and neutral, which are needed in kitchens, bathrooms, and wherever full disconnection is required. Both sockets have 0.6 mm phosphor copper contacts providing good retention of the pins as well as red copper switches and Φ3.0×25 mm alloy contact points. Three finishes can be chosen for the sockets: tempered glass with a shiny fingerprint-free surface, brushed aluminum for an industrial metallic appearance or polycarbonate for cost savings. The dimensions remain 88×146 mm assuring an easy installation into standard British double gang backboxes. Two middle plate varieties can be selected.
As a direct manufacturer, we provide wholesale prices and OEM branding on our glass, aluminium, or PC panels along with a 12-year warranty for our entire DN71 series.
Two Independent BS Sockets — Each with Its Own Switch and Neon
The BS socket features two 13A circuits on a 146mm board. Each outlet includes its own switch, providing maximum power control depending on the task. A neon light is shown for each socket, indicating whether it has electricity flowing through it. The DN71412 DP will cut off both live and neutral current with each switch. The copper switch’s components consist of silver alloy tips that are 25mm long and have a diameter of 3mm. The socket comes with a 12-year warranty from the company known for making DN71408 glass sockets.

Choosing the Right UK Double Switched Socket: SP vs DP, Glass vs PC, Installation Tips
A practical guide to specifying double BS plug sockets for British standard residential and commercial installations.
SP vs DP — Which Switch Type for Which Room?
The DN71408 (SP) is essentially a standard configuration in the UK for double sockets in which the switch will disconnect only the live wire. This configuration is suitable in places such as homes and bedrooms as well as general socket outlets. The DN71412 (DP) does not only disconnect only the live wire, but it will break the neutral wire as well. This configuration is suitable in areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and any places where equipment can come into contact with water or places where the law requires full isolation of the double pole. The price difference of SP and DP is very little when compared to the safety benefits offered in wet conditions.
Double Socket vs Two Single Sockets — Which Configuration Is Better?
A UK double socket such as the DN71408/DN71412 provides two power outlets taken from a double gang back box — the standard British design for kitchens, living rooms, and offices. If two separate single sockets were to be installed, two single gang back boxes would be required, taking more wall space. For most installations, the double socket is the best and most space-efficient option. The 146mm panel will fit into the standard British double gang back box.
Glass vs Aluminum vs PC — Which Panel Material for Your Double Socket?
Tempered glass: Luxurious kitchen and living room designs — visually appealing and resistant to fingerprints. Metallized aluminum: Industrial strength for hospitality kitchens and workshops. PC: Economical high-volume option for private homes. All 3 come with dual 13A sockets, unique switches and a 12 year warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UK double switched socket?
A double switched socket consists of two 13A BS1363 power outlets placed on one wall plate, which has a dimension of 146mm. Each of the sockets consists of a rocker switch as well as a neon indicator. The DN71408/DN71412 socket is compliant with British standards. This kind of socket is widely used for connecting various devices in respective rooms.
What is the difference between SP and DP on a double socket?
The SP (Single Pole) on DN71408 disconnects the live wire only when in off position. The DP (Double Pole) on DN71412 disconnects both live and neutral to offer complete isolation, thus providing maximum safety. DP is the correct choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and in any installation where full disconnection is necessary as per wiring regulations or in situations where appliances could come in contact with water.
Does each socket have its own switch and neon?
The UK DN71408/DN71412 double socket provides two 13A outlets and allows for independent switches for each of them. This means that each socket has its own neon indicator, allowing you to switch off the kettle while keeping the toaster on, as each will indicate its power status.
What panel materials are available for this glass UK double socket?
The DN71408/DN71412 double switched socket comes with three options of front panel: tempered glass (high quality, shiny, scratch resistant finish for high-end kitchens and home interiors), brushed aluminum (industrial quality finish for commercial kitchens and similar settings), and PC (very strong type of working substance; it is cheap and efficient for bulk house constructions). These three types have identical technical features such as twin outlets of 13A, independent switches, neon indicators, and a 12-year warranty of the product.
