Description
A television point does not have to be an afterthought. This one carries a coaxial connection on a screwless flat plate, with no fixing heads across the front to break up the champagne gold face. The plate measures 88mm square, so it keeps to the footprint of standard accessories, and the moulding stays smooth to the eye and to the hand. It handles signal rather than mains power, sitting on the low voltage side of things, so it belongs with your aerial and data runs rather than among your power points.
We would specify this where a wall-mounted television leaves the plate in plain view and a white one would jar with a warmer scheme. Living rooms, bedrooms and snugs are the obvious homes for it, though it does just as well in a home office or a hallway where the aerial feed needs to arrive tidily. Champagne gold is a quieter tone than polished brass, warm without going bright, so it reads as a small piece of the joinery rather than something demanding attention. It suits schemes already leaning on brass handles, gold taps and softer paint colours.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate with the champagne gold finish carried across the visible face. Keep it to dry indoor rooms; it is not a part for bathroom zones, garages or anywhere that sees splashes. For cleaning, a barely damp cloth and a dry buff afterwards is all it wants, and cream cleaners or anything abrasive should stay in the cupboard, since they will dull the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. With no screwheads on show, it makes a neat job of the wall behind a television, and we are happy to see it repeated in the same room.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is 88mm by 88mm on the face, with a 25mm depth behind, which matches the usual run of single plate accessories.
What does it actually connect?
It takes a coaxial aerial feed for a television point. It is a low voltage signal part, classed as Class 3, and is not intended for mains power circuits.
What is it made from?
The plate is moulded polycarbonate with a champagne gold finish. It weighs only 0.065kg, so it is a light, easy part to handle.
Can it go in a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 and made for indoor use on dry data and aerial circuits only, so keep it away from splash zones and unheated damp spaces.
How should I clean the champagne gold face?
Wipe it with a barely damp cloth, then dry it straight away. Avoid solvents, polishes and cream cleaners, as they will take the sheen off the finish.
