Schneider Exclusive Metal Clad 13A Switched Socket GMC131SS is an option among wall switches and sockets at Bashiti Stores, intended for setting up daily-use points within wall wiring. The function of this item is a "Switched Socket," so start by matching its function to the required point. The term "two-way" describes a switch with two directions, "intermediate" is a different function, and a blank plate is neither a switch nor a socket.

Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying
Does it fit any electrical box?
The box dimensions, depth, and mounting positions must match this model. Similarity in the number of gangs or color does not guarantee compatibility.
Can it be used outdoors or in a location exposed to water?
It is not intended for that. Review the protection rating and installation conditions for the model, and choose appropriate equipment for the location if there is humidity or direct exposure to water.
What should I check when replacing?
