Appleby Safety Shield 1G 30mm Single Socket & Switch Protector | SSD170

The Appleby SSD170 Safety Shield 1G 30mm is a practical and time-saving solution designed to protect electrical accessories during construction and finishing work. Installed between the back box and accessory, it provides a secure frame for plastering, tiling, wallpapering, and paintwork, preventing ingress of materials like grout or plaster.

Ideal for electricians working on new builds or refurbishments, the SSD170 allows the first and second fix to be completed in one visit, reducing return trips and minimising disruption from other trades. Once installed, it also creates a neat, professional trim edge for surrounding finishes.
