BG Part M 3 Gang Switch 2x Intermediate 1x 2 Way Custom Grid Light Switch
BG Part M grid switches are designed to aid the visually impaired. The graphite front plate contrasts against a light-coloured wall and the white rockers contrast against the plate, with no visible plastic around the rockers and colour matched screws for a sleek appearance. Part M approved, and the front plate matches the power products of the BG Part M range.
Bespoke Grid Switch
The switch Panel consists of the following:
- Mounting frame — RFR34
- Face plate — RPM3
- 2x Intermediate Switch — R13
- 1x 2 Way Single Pole Switch — R12
Intermediate switch. Used as the middle switch when one light is operated from 3 locations, such as the top and bottom of the stairs plus a hallway or landing. An intermediate switch allows for more than 2 switches in a circuit.
2 way single pole switch. Operates lights from 2 locations, or can be wired as a one way switch on its own.
Both modules are 20A single pole with captive backed out terminal screws for fast installation and a simple secure locate and clip fitting to the frame. Alternative legend rocker covers are available.
Ideal for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. Grid matches the BG Part M range to provide an extended range, and suits care homes, supported living, student accommodation, schools and communal areas as well as domestic installations where Approved Document M contrast requirements apply.
What's in the box?
1x face plate, 1x mounting frame, 2x intermediate switch, 1x 2 way single pole switch
Your grid switch arrives as a kit: a front plate, a metal grid frame and the switch modules you chose. Modules clip into the frame, the frame screws to the back box, and the plate fits over the top.
Safety first: Only fit this yourself if you are competent to do electrical work. Work must meet BS 7671, and some jobs (for example new circuits, or work in bathrooms) are notifiable under Part P in England and Wales. If in doubt, use a registered electrician.
- Switch the circuit off at the consumer unit and confirm it is dead with a voltage tester before touching any wiring.
- Unscrew the old switch, take a photo of the wiring and label which cable goes to which terminal.
- Check the back box is deep enough: at least 25 mm for switches, 35 mm for dimmers and larger plates (see the spec sheets below).
- Clip each module into the grid frame from the front, in the order shown on this listing, with the 'TOP' marking facing up.
- Wire each module: one-way uses COM and L1, two-way uses COM, L1 and L2, and an intermediate takes both pairs of strapper wires. For dimmers and 20A modules, follow BG's leaflet below.
- Connect the earth (green/yellow) cable to the earth terminal on the grid frame or metal plate.
- Screw the grid frame to the back box, then fit the front plate. Screwless plates clip over the frame.
- Switch the power back on and test every switch and dimmer.
