For combining these switches to create multiples (3-gang, 4-gang etc), you can use modular backplates that join at the ends. Please contact us for more information. NB: these multiples will only fit onto European back boxes, not British rectangular double boxes.
The modular nature of these switches mean that you can also mix and match finishes! Please get in touch if you would like to combine a Bakelite frame with a contrasting Duroplast toggle, for example.
Apart from switches, THPG offer a selection of wiring products and functions that can be combined with these frames, such as audio speaker inputs, TV/SAT sockets and network sockets. Contact us for information on other options if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
(if more items are ordered, they will ship in approximately 5-10 working days)
What you need to know
What’s in the box?
This switch set consists of an insert including a screw-in turning knob, a frame and a front plate, fixed with a small hidden nut.
What does an electrician call this?
This is a 1-gang 2-way 10AX switch, or a 1-gang intermediate 10AX switch
Where is this used in the home?
A 1-gang 2-way switch is commonly used for controlling a single light source from one or two places. A 1-gang intermediate is used as the middle switch of three, controlling a single light source (for example in a hallway).
Installation
THPG rotary switches are easy to install, but remember, the round backplate versions don’t fit onto standard British back boxes! Just follow the step-by-step pictures below or go to our THPG rotary switch installation page.Â
We used a European round box in the pictures but the procedure is the same for square boxes.
