MK Electric Switches, Sockets and Fused Spurs — Wiring Accessories for UK Electricians

MK Electric is one of the most trusted names in UK wiring accessories, with a long track record supplying the trade with reliable switches, sockets, fused spurs and cooker controls. Whether you're rewiring a domestic property or fitting out a commercial unit, MK's Logic Plus and Grid Plus ranges deliver consistent performance in a clean white finish that's compatible with standard UK back boxes. This guide covers the core MK wiring accessories available at APM Electricals, with trade prices inc VAT.

Why Electricians Choose MK Electric

MK Electric has been manufacturing wiring accessories in the UK for over a century. The Logic Plus range is a go-to for domestic installations — robust moulded construction, quality internal contacts and straightforward wiring terminals that save time on site. The Grid Plus system offers a modular approach for areas where multiple functions are needed in a single plate. All MK accessories comply with BS EN 60669 and BS 1363 as appropriate, and are compatible with standard 25mm and 35mm back boxes.

For UK electricians, MK represents a balance between premium build quality and sensible trade pricing. Screwfix and Toolstation carry the range, which means your customers are likely familiar with the brand — and replacing existing MK accessories with like-for-like MK is often the tidiest solution in a property that already has the brand fitted throughout.

MK Wiring Accessories at APM Electricals

MK 10A 1-Gang 2-Way Plate Switch — White

Price: £3.45 inc VAT

The MK 10AX single-gang 2-way plate switch (K4871WHI) is a core item on every domestic rewire. The 10AX rating makes it suitable for switching fluorescent and LED lighting loads without derating. Screwed terminals accept standard 1mm² and 1.5mm² conductors, and the slim-profile white moulding sits flush against a standard single-gang back box. Sold individually — stock multiples for projects where you're replacing all the light switches in one go.

MK 13A 1-Gang Switched Fused Connection Unit — White

Price: £11.49 inc VAT

The MK 13A single-gang switched fused spur is the standard solution for spuring off a ring final to supply a fixed appliance — extractor fans, towel rails, boiler connections and under-counter appliances are common applications. The unit accepts a standard 3A or 13A fuse, and the switched version means the appliance can be isolated without disconnecting at the consumer unit. The flex outlet version is also available. Wires into a single-gang back box; the plate includes clear terminal labelling for fast, accurate connection.

MK 13A 1-Gang Switched Socket — White

Price: £11.99 inc VAT

The MK single-gang switched 13A socket (Logic Plus) is the standard single outlet for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where a single socket position is required. It features the MK Logic Plus shuttered outlet design, 30mm deep moulded body and screwed terminals. The face plate includes a rocker switch for socket isolation without unplugging — a feature increasingly specified on domestic installations. Fits a standard single-gang surface or flush back box. Available in gloss white.

MK 45A DP Cooker Control Unit with 13A Switched Socket — White

Price: £25.70 inc VAT

The MK 45A double-pole cooker control unit combines a 45A DP switch for the cooker circuit with a 13A switched socket in a single double-gang plate. This is the standard fitting for kitchen cooker points — the integrated socket provides a convenient outlet for a kettle or toaster without requiring a separate socket position nearby. The DP switch gives full disconnection of both line and neutral on the cooker circuit as required by BS 7671. Dual neon indicators show switch-on status for both the 45A switch and the 13A socket. Mounts on a standard double-gang cooker back box.

MK Grid Plus Modules

Alongside the Logic Plus plate range, MK's Grid Plus system provides a flexible modular platform for installations where multiple switching or socket functions are needed in a single location — utility rooms, home offices and AV installations are typical applications. Grid modules include 10A 2-way switches, 20A DP appliance switches (boiler, cooker hood, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, waste disposal, coffee machine) and 13A socket outlets. Modules clip into a grid frame, which is then secured by a surface front plate in 2-gang, 3-gang or 4-gang configurations. APM stocks individual grid modules from £4.99.

MK Shaver Sockets

MK Electric's Logic Plus shaver supply unit (K701WHI) provides dual-voltage 115V/230V shaver output with mains isolation through an internal transformer — the correct solution for bathroom shaver points under Zone 3. The MK K701RPWHI is a 2-gang variant with dual outlets. Both models are surface-mount or flush-fit to a standard single-gang back box and comply with BS EN 61558-2-5. Priced from £29.99 inc VAT.

Fan Isolators

For bathroom and kitchen extractor fan installations, APM stocks the MK 3-pole fan isolator in 10A rating. The 3-pole isolator provides independent switching of live, neutral and earth to the fan motor — required where the fan is in a zone that demands full isolation capability. The 10A rating is suitable for virtually all domestic extractor fan loads. Available from £13.99 inc VAT. Fits a standard single-gang back box and is finished in white to match the rest of the MK Logic Plus range.

Selecting MK Wiring Accessories for Your Job

MK Logic Plus accessories are available in gloss white as standard, and are designed to be used alongside each other for a consistent finish throughout a property. When specifying:

• Lighting circuits: Use 10AX-rated switches (10AX is backwards-compatible with 6A and 10A circuits, and is correct for LED and fluorescent loads).
• Ring finals: 13A sockets and fused spurs; for double sockets use the MK 2-gang Logic Plus socket.
• Dedicated appliance circuits: 45A DP cooker control, 20A DP grid modules for individual appliances, or 13A FCUs with appropriate fuse rating for smaller fixed loads.
• Bathrooms: Shaver supply unit for shaver points; 3-pole fan isolator for extractor fans; all accessories should be installed outside Zones 0, 1 and 2.
