A hand waved within 3cm of the faceplate triggers the ON\/OFF switching, eliminating the need to touch the surface. The switch is finished in black nickel with a screwless faceplate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential bathrooms, hotel rooms, care homes and commercial washrooms where reducing surface contact supports hygiene protocols, the touchless switch requires a neutral wire connection in addition to the standard live and switched live terminals. The sensor sits behind the 201 stainless steel faceplate and operates on 230V 50Hz mains. The screwless cover plate hides all fixings once installed, giving a cleaner finish than screw-fixed alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black nickel finish provides a dark metallic tone that sits between graphite and polished chrome, pairing well with contemporary bathrooms, industrial-styled kitchens and monochrome interiors. The switch sits 4.3mm proud of the wall once fitted to a 25mm minimum back box, with a built-in gasket providing IP20 protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm. The 87.5mm square faceplate matches standard UK single-gang dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

The gesture sensor requires a neutral connection in addition to the standard live and switched live terminals.

It can be installed in bathrooms outside of the designated splash zones (typically Zones 0, 1 and 2 around baths and showers). Consult BS 7671 Wiring Regulations or a qualified electrician for zone-specific installation guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the screwless plate removable for redecorating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
