Product Information

Full details

This Soho Lighting Brushed Brass 8 Gang RM Rectangular Module Grid Plate is for individuals building custom electrical faceplates for residential or commercial spaces. Its key benefit is offering unparalleled flexibility in combining various RM modules for switches and outlets on a single, elegant plate. A caveat is its incompatibility with CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 modules. This plate allows for the creation of bespoke configurations, from mixed switch types to appliance isolation banks, all within a low-profile, screwless brushed brass finish that minimizes fingerprints.

FAQs

What types of modules are compatible with this grid plate?

This grid plate is specifically designed for and compatible only with RM modules. It is not compatible with CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 modules.

Does the grid plate come with switches or sockets included?

No, the grid plate is supplied with the back frame/yoke and gasket. You will need to purchase the individual RM modules (switches, sockets, etc.) separately to build your custom plate.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes.

Can I mix different types of switches (e.g., dimmer and standard) on the same plate?

Yes, as long as all the modules you choose are of the RM type, you can combine various switches, dimmers, and other compatible RM modules to create your desired configuration.

Is this product suitable for a bathroom?

While the plate includes a gasket for some protection, its suitability for specific zones in a bathroom depends on the IP rating of the individual RM modules used and the overall electrical installation safety regulations. Always consult a qualified electrician.

What is the advantage of a screwless plate?

Screwless plates offer a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding the visible screws. They provide a sleek, minimalist look and can be easier to clean around.

How many modules can fit on this plate?

This is an 8-gang grid plate, meaning it can accommodate up to eight individual RM modules.

Troubleshooting

Modules do not click into place

Ensure you are using RM type modules and that the module is oriented correctly. Check for any debris within the grid frame slots.

Plate does not sit flush against the wall

Verify that the back box is installed correctly and that no cables are obstructing the plate. Ensure the gasket and yoke are seated properly.

Finish appears tarnished

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal polishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The grid plate requires individual RM modules to be purchased separately and clipped into the provided back frame/yoke.

The plate is designed to be installed like a standard UK double-gang accessory, with the gasket and yoke providing a seal against the wall.
