Double socket
Sockets · Also: Double power point, 2-gang socket
In short
Two 13A outlets on one faceplate — the most common living-room and bedroom power point.
Notes
A double socket has two outlets side by side on one faceplate. It is the default choice for general rooms because you can plug in two devices without an extension.
When marking drawings for the electrician, say how many double power points you want on each wall — not just “sockets here”.
