13A Single Switched UK Socket
The NAB21B-01 provides one 13A switched power outlet for a standard Type G UK 3-pin plug. BG lists the operating voltage as 220–240V, while its technical sheet rates the Nexus Metal socket family at 13A 250V AC.
Its single-socket format makes it a practical choice for locations where only one mains connection is needed, including:
- Bedrooms
- Living rooms
- Dining rooms
- Hallways
- Home offices
- Kitchens
- Utility rooms
- Hotels
- Apartments
- Renovation projects
Premium Antique Brass Finish
The faceplate is finished in Antique Brass, giving the socket a warmer, more traditional character than standard white plastic accessories. A contrasting black insert surrounds the plug outlet and rocker switch, creating a strong decorative combination suited to classic, industrial, heritage and contemporary interiors.
The Antique Brass finish can coordinate particularly well with brass door handles, light fittings, cabinet hardware, traditional furniture and matching BG Nexus Metal switches and sockets.
Slim Premium Metal Design
BG describes the Nexus Metal range as having a sleek, slim profile with softly rounded edges. The design also avoids visible plastic around the switch, helping give the installed accessory a more premium appearance.
This makes NAB21B-01 especially relevant to customers searching for a slim brass socket, metal wall socket, luxury electrical socket or decorative Antique Brass plug socket.
Angled Colour-Coded Terminals
Installation is supported by angled, in-line colour-coded terminals, designed to improve access and make terminal identification easier.
BG's technical sheet specifies terminal capacities of:
- 3 × 2.5mm²
- 3 × 4mm²
- 2 × 6mm²
The live product page currently highlights 3 × 2.5mm², while the wider Nexus Metal technical specification provides the additional capacities above.
Captive Backed-Out Terminal Screws
The NAB21B-01 uses captive, backed-out terminal screws. The backed-out design makes conductor insertion easier during installation, while captive screws help reduce the risk of losing terminal screws.
This installer-friendly construction makes the socket particularly useful for electricians carrying out new installations, refurbishments or socket replacements.
Twin Earth Terminals
BG fits the socket with two earth terminals as standard, which the manufacturer highlights for high-integrity circuits.
This is an important technical feature for electricians and gives the page additional search relevance around twin earth 13A socket and high integrity electrical socket.
Moisture-Control Gasket
A fixed integrated gasket helps protect the metal edges from moisture. BG specifically states that the moisture-control gasket helps reduce tarnishing associated with moisture from new plaster.
This feature is particularly useful in new-build and refurbishment projects where decorative metal accessories may be fitted around recently plastered surfaces.
