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
