Blackened Steel Fused Connection Unit (FCU)

For applications where a cleaner appearance is preferred, this unswitched fused spur provides the same protection and functionality as a switched version while maintaining a more understated look.

The feeling
The most successful interiors are often the ones where every detail feels connected. By matching practical electrical accessories to the wider finish scheme, even the functional elements contribute to the overall atmosphere of the room.

Blackened Steel introduces depth and character without the harshness often associated with pure black finishes.

Where it works best
This unswitched fused spur is commonly used for:

• Boilers
• Extractor fans
• Electric radiators
• Under-cabinet lighting
• Fixed kitchen appliances
• Other permanently connected electrical equipment

It's particularly useful where switching is not required at the point of installation or where a cleaner visual appearance is preferred.

Why it works
The unswitched design creates a streamlined appearance while still providing safe protection for permanently wired appliances.

The replaceable fuse helps protect the connected appliance from electrical faults while maintaining the functionality expected from a fused connection unit.

The design detail
Blackened Steel is hand-finished in-house, creating a darkened steel appearance inspired by aged industrial materials. The finish has a subtle timeworn quality that adds character and depth while remaining versatile enough for both contemporary and heritage-inspired interiors.

The switch-free design enhances the clean, understated appearance of the plate.

How to style it
Coordinate with matching Blackened Steel switches, sockets and dimmers throughout the room for a consistent finish. Blackened Steel pairs particularly well with dark cabinetry, natural wood, concrete, stone and layered neutral palettes, helping create interiors with warmth and substance.
