Key Features

13A Fused Protection

Comes fitted with a 13A fuse to protect connected fixed appliances from overcurrent. Ideal for use in kitchens, utility rooms, and commercial spaces where dishwashers, boilers, fans, or heaters are hardwired.

Unswitched Configuration

Designed for applications where the appliance does not require manual switching. Commonly used for extractor fans, water heaters, integrated kitchen appliances, or devices controlled remotely or via a timer.

Double Pole Switching

Provides isolation of both live and neutral conductors to ensure safety during maintenance and fault conditions—meeting the highest standards for electrical safety.

Large, Angled Terminals with Top Access

Designed with electricians in mind, the top-entry terminals allow easy access and improved visibility, especially when working in confined spaces. The angled design simplifies wire insertion and tightening.

Embossed Terminal Markings

Terminal identifiers are clearly embossed, making the installation process quicker and reducing the risk of incorrect wiring.

Dual Earth Terminals

Supports installations in metal back boxes and allows continuity in earth connections where multiple devices or accessories are connected in the same circuit.

Retained Fixing Screws

Faceplate screws are secured by an integrated earth strap, preventing loss during installation and ensuring a smooth assembly process.

Aesthetic Consistency

The flat square-edge design with contoured finish ensures the fused spur blends neatly into the wall and matches other products in the Securlec Square Edge range, including switches, sockets, and cooker units.

Ideal Applications

Integrated kitchen appliances (ovens, dishwashers, washing machines)

Water heaters or immersion heaters

Boiler isolators

Bathroom extractor fans

Alarm systems and access control panels

Fixed commercial equipment or display units

Installation Guidelines

Isolate power before installation in accordance with local electrical safety regulations.

Mount into a standard 1-gang flush wall box, 25mm depth or greater.
