BG Evolve PCDDB20B Dual-Voltage Shaver Socket - Matt Blue

BG Evolve PCDDB20B-01 Matt Blue Shaver Socket

Add a practical power point and a distinctive decorative finish to modern bathrooms with the BG Evolve PCDDB20B-01 Matt Blue Dual-Voltage Shaver Socket. Designed specifically for electric shavers and rechargeable electric toothbrushes, it combines dedicated 115V and 240V outlets with a slim screwless faceplate from the contemporary BG Evolve range.

The deep Matt Blue finish and coordinated black socket insert create a bold alternative to conventional white bathroom accessories. It works particularly well with navy cabinetry, black taps, dark tiles, brushed-metal fittings and modern hotel-style bathroom designs.

Dual 115V and 240V Outputs

The PCDDB20B-01 provides dual-voltage 115V and 240V shaver outlets, allowing compatible personal-grooming appliances from different voltage systems to be connected to the appropriate socket.

It is suitable for products such as:

• Electric shavers
• Rechargeable electric toothbrushes
• Compatible beard trimmers
• Suitable grooming appliances designed for shaver sockets

This is a specialist shaver outlet rather than a standard 13A socket. It should not be used for hairdryers, straighteners, heaters, phone chargers or ordinary household appliances fitted with a standard UK plug.

Ideal for Modern Bathrooms and En-Suites

The dedicated shaver and toothbrush outlets provide a convenient charging location without leaving a mains adaptor loose on a worktop or trailing across a bathroom surface.

The socket is well suited to:

• Family bathrooms
• En-suite bathrooms
• Hotel guest rooms
• Serviced apartments
• Luxury residential developments
• Student accommodation
• Care facilities
• Bathroom refurbishment projects

Its vertical 146mm × 86mm format creates a neat installation beside mirrors, vanity units and bathroom storage, subject to correct electrical positioning and installation requirements.

Matt Blue Screwless Finish

The Matt Blue front plate clips onto the installed socket base, concealing the accessory-fixing screws and producing a clean, uninterrupted appearance.

This clip-on design is also convenient during decorating. The electrical base can be installed while painting, tiling or other finishing work is completed, with the decorative plate clipped into position once the surrounding surface is ready.

The coordinated black insert provides a strong contrast against the blue plate and complements black bathroom fixtures, dark accessories and contemporary interior schemes.

Captive Backed-Out Terminal Screws

Captive backed-out terminal screws are supplied in a ready-to-wire position. Because the screws remain retained within the terminal assembly, installation is quicker and there is less risk of small terminal screws being dropped or lost.

The stated terminal capacity is:

• Three 2.5mm² conductors
• Two 4mm² conductors

The socket also includes one earth terminal, fixing screws and installation instructions.

Minimum 47mm Back Box

The transformer and dual-voltage socket mechanism require more installation depth than a standard light switch or socket. BG specifies a minimum 47mm mounting-box depth for the PCDDB20B-01.

The published product dimensions are approximately:

• Height: 146mm
• Width: 86mm
• Overall depth: 46.6mm
• Vertical fixing centres: 120.6mm
• Minimum back-box depth: 47mm
• Front-profile depth: approximately 5.3mm

The existing back box should therefore be checked carefully before ordering the socket as a replacement accessory.
