The frame accepts between 6 and 8 individual grid modules (sold separately) and clips into a standard UK back box, providing the structural support and earth connection for the entire grid assembly before the screwless faceplate is clipped on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed in residential and commercial installations where a single wall plate needs to control multiple circuits or functions, the grid system allows electricians and designers to build custom switch configurations without needing separate back boxes for each function. The frame includes an earth terminal and comes with a gasket to seal the back box aperture against dust ingress, meeting IP20 requirements for dry indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is constructed from premium-grade steel with a galvanised finish, providing structural rigidity for heavier module loads and long-term dimensional stability. At 10mm projection from the wall when fitted, the frame sits flush enough to allow the screwless cover plate to clip on without creating excessive wall projection. The frame is compatible only with Knightsbridge screwless grid faceplates in 6-gang and 8-gang sizes, not with standard screw-fixed plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e148 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e148 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 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\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\/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_2201343_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat back box size does this frame require?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame fits a standard 2-gang 47mm deep back box or a dedicated 6-8 gang grid back box. The 148mm square dimension matches the faceplate size, so the back box aperture must accommodate this width and height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many modules can it hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame accepts between 6 and 8 individual grid modules depending on the module width. Standard single-width modules fit 8 per frame, while double-width modules reduce the total count to 6 or fewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it compatible with standard screw-fixed faceplates?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This frame is designed exclusively for Knightsbridge screwless grid faceplates. The clip mechanism that holds the screwless plate in place is built into the frame design and will not work with traditional screw-fixed cover plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the gasket need to be replaced if the faceplate is removed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gasket is reusable and does not typically need replacement unless it becomes damaged or perished. When removing the faceplate for redecoration or module changes, ensure the gasket remains seated around the back box aperture before re-clipping the cover plate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293877395723,"sku":"GDS003F","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/155658_8a5afecc-3147-48da-bcb5-24d9cccf64d5.jpg?v=1714665384","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/6-8-gang-grid-mounting-frame-for-screwless-faceplates-knightsbridge","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
