Description

The Knightsbridge 1-gang blanking plate covers unused or redundant electrical back boxes behind a screwless black nickel faceplate. The plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, hiding all fixings behind the cover for a clean wall finish. A built-in rubber gasket seals the plate against the wall surface, preventing dust ingress and improving the IP20 rating.

Designed for residential refurbishments, new-build installations and commercial fit-outs where electrical layout has changed or future connections are planned, the blanking plate provides a finished appearance for boxes that would otherwise be left exposed or covered with temporary caps. The 87.5mm square format matches standard UK single-gang switch and socket sizes, allowing the plate to sit flush with adjacent fittings in the same range.

The black nickel finish is a gunmetal-toned dark grey with a low-sheen metallic surface, sitting between polished chrome and matt black in reflectivity. The premium-grade steel construction and 25-year warranty reflect Knightsbridge's commercial-specification build quality. The earth terminal on the back of the plate maintains continuity of the earthing system even when the box is blanked off, which is required under UK wiring regulations for metal back boxes.

Frequently Asked

Why is an earth terminal needed on a blanking plate?

UK wiring regulations require metal back boxes to maintain earthing continuity even when blanked off. The earth terminal on this plate connects to the back box earth, ensuring the installation remains compliant and safe.

Is the screwless plate removable for future wiring changes?

Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed by hand or with a small flathead screwdriver and re-clipped without needing to re-wire or re-fix the sub-frame.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces screwless blanking plates in polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters at Niori to find other variants in stock.

Does the built-in gasket improve dust protection?

Yes. The rubber gasket around the back of the faceplate seals against the wall surface, preventing dust and debris from entering the back box. This supports the IP20 rating and keeps the box clean if it is later opened for wiring work.
