Quite difficult to fit because of the size of the cables. Not much room in the box. **Q: Is a cooker control switch the same as one needed for a shower?** A: Hi, this clearly states its for a cooker. Best to search for shower power switch on Amazon, it brings up lots of options. **Q: Could this be used as a light switch and socket in a garage? Thinking of ways to minimise sockets and cables etc.** A: I suppose so, but it seems a waste of money to pay for 45a unit just for a light. Why not put in a couple of ordinary switches and a light switch. I'm of the opinion you can't have too many sockets (within reason). To get rid of all the trailing cables around my computer, printer and NAS drive I put in six sockets, all neat and tidy. **Q: Can this be used as an rcd type b.** A: It's a 45a double pole cooker switch not an RCD.... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement oven switch *by A***R on 25 January 2026* Perfect, fixed our oven issue a treat. Easy fit, nice large terminals for connection ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by J***U on 19 February 2026* Really easy to install Has led indicators for the oven and the plug Looks really smart and fitted perfectly ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lord of the rings *by J***R on 10 May 2020* This is a review of BG Electrical Double Pole Cooker Control Unit With Single Socket and Power Indicator, 45 Amp, White. I liked most aspects of this product but there were one or two aspects which weren’t quite so brilliant. I liked the fact that the connectors for feed and load out were intelligently positioned so that you could twist the socket around in order to gain easier access to both sets of screws that you needed to tighten. I liked the fact that there is a neon indicator to remind you to switch the cooker feed off when you’ve finished cooking. I liked the fact that they provided five of the plastic circles to cover up the screws that hold the socket to the pattress or back box. You can guarantee that at some point your are going to be unscrewing it again, so it’s nice to have some spares. The other thing I liked was that it has a lower profile than the switch that it was replacing, which admittedly has probably been there for more than twenty five years, and the corners are nicely rounded. This means that it looks smarter. I don’t really see the point of having a neon indicator for the socket. I had loosened all the tightenable screws prior to attaching any wires, and I wasn’t too delighted when I had attached four out of six wires and then one of the screws for holding one of the earth wires decided to drop out and roll across our induction hob. It was quite a ball-ache to slot it back in. It also seems illogical to me to have the neon indicator for the cooker switch immediately above the word OFF. It would seem more logical to me to position it next to the word ON. When I want to turn on the induction hob and the oven, I now have one switch to control them all. Anyway, enough bad Lord of the Rings puns for the time being, overall this is a great product and I would recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nexus 45A Connection Unit - BG Electrical Switched Fused Connection Unit with LED Power Indicator, Fused Spur Switch, Round Edge, Nexus 800 Series, White Moulded, 13A, 852 - MK Logic Plus Double Socket (K2747 WHI DP) 13A 2 Gang, in white, with inherent antimicrobial properties. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/49064513-nexus-45a-connection-unit](https://www.desertcart.at/products/49064513-nexus-45a-connection-unit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
