Double Pole Switch

Long Description:

A standard single-pole switch only breaks the live connection, which leaves the neutral side still technically connected — fine for most everyday switches, but not what you want for a fixed appliance that needs proper isolation for maintenance or in an emergency. This switch breaks both live and neutral together, giving full isolation rather than a partial one.

Features & Benefits

• Isolates both live and neutral connections simultaneously
• Suits fixed appliances needing full isolation
• Smooth, positive switching action
• Durable, impact-resistant housing

Specifications
This is a double pole switch that isolates both live and neutral conductors together, used for controlling fixed appliances such as water heaters, ovens, and boilers.

Where It’s Used
Comes up on water heaters, electric showers, ovens, immersion heaters, and air conditioning units — any fixed appliance where full isolation is either required by regulation or just good practice for safety during servicing.

Fitting
This is electrical installation work and needs to be carried out or checked by a qualified electrician in line with current wiring regulations, particularly since these switches are typically fitted for appliances requiring full isolation as standard practice. Comes through the same suppliers as the rest of our building materials range.
