{"product_id":"2-gang-blanking-plate-polished-brass-ultra-flat","title":"2 Gang Blanking Plate - Polished Brass Ultra Flat","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge 2-gang blanking plate covers unused or redundant electrical boxes behind a polished brass faceplate with an ultra-flat profile. At 2.5mm projection from the wall, the plate sits nearly flush with the surface, making it less noticeable than standard-depth covers and reducing the risk of snagging on fabrics or furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and commercial installations where electrical back boxes remain in the wall but are no longer needed for active circuits, the blanking plate provides a finished appearance rather than leaving an open void or temporary cover. The built-in gasket seals the plate against the back box, preventing dust ingress and providing a secure fit without additional sealing compounds. The earth terminal allows continuation of earth bonding where required by wiring regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premium-grade steel construction supports a durable polished brass finish that provides a warm metallic accent in traditional, classical and contemporary interiors. The 147.5mm x 87.5mm faceplate fits standard UK double-gang back boxes and is certified to IEC 60670-1 for compliance with international wiring accessory standards. The IP20 rating confirms suitability for indoor dry locations.\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\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e147.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium grade steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1325934_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_1286384.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat back box does this fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate fits standard UK double-gang (2-gang) 35mm deep back boxes with 60.3mm horizontal centre spacing between fixing screws.

If the back box contains earthed cables, the terminal ensures the earth conductor remains connected even though no active device is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the ultra-flat profile suitable for high-traffic areas?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 2.5mm projection reduces the risk of the plate snagging on clothing, bags or furniture compared to standard 8-10mm depth blanking plates.
