The faceplate accepts one GDF001F grid mounting frame (sold separately), allowing a single switch, socket or accessory module to be fitted within a metalclad installation. The powder-coated silver-grey finish matches the wider Metalclad range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntended for industrial, commercial and garage installations where exposed steel accessories are preferred over plastic faceplates, the metalclad grid system uses separate faceplate and mounting frame components to allow modules to be swapped or reconfigured without replacing the entire assembly. The faceplate sits 3.5mm proud of the wall when fitted and carries an IP20 rating for internal dry locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is premium-grade steel with a powder-coated finish that resists chipping and provides a harder-wearing surface than painted alternatives. The 87.5mm square footprint fits standard metalclad back boxes and the two screw holes at top and bottom accept M3.5 fixings. Knightsbridge backs this component with a 25-year warranty, reflecting the expected lifespan in industrial and commercial environments.\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\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 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\u003ePowder-coated Silver\/Grey\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\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_2200500_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 is the Metalclad grid system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metalclad grid system uses separate faceplates and mounting frames. This faceplate accepts one GDF001F mounting frame, which in turn accepts one modular grid component (switch, socket, or accessory). This allows modules to be changed without replacing the entire faceplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be used with standard grid modules?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This faceplate is specifically for the Metalclad grid system and requires the GDF001F mounting frame (sold separately).
