Ideal Use

The Crabtree TOPAZ Blank Cover 4x4 is the perfect solution for any situation requiring the neat and safe concealment of a standard square wall box.

• Renovations: To cover wall boxes after removing obsolete double sockets, combination sockets, or old thermostat units during a remodel.
• New Constructions: To cover pre-installed 4x4 boxes designated for future use, maintaining a clean finish during the build process.
• Junction Box Concealment: To provide an accessible yet aesthetically pleasing cover for a 4x4 wall box that is being used as a major junction point for multiple wiring circuits.
• Commercial & Office Fit-outs: To neatly blank off redundant electrical points during office layout changes, maintaining a professional and tidy appearance.
• Aesthetic Upgrades: To replace old, discoloured, or damaged blank plates with a modern, screwless alternative that matches a new design scheme.

Tips

• CRITICAL - Ensure Wiring is Safe: Before installing a blank cover, a qualified electrician must ensure any wires within the box are made safe. This involves securely terminating any live conductors in approved connectors (e.g., terminal blocks) and properly insulating them. Never cover unterminated, live wires.
• Junction Box Accessibility: If the wall box contains wire joins or junctions, it is a legal requirement (SANS 10142-1) that the box remains accessible for future inspection and maintenance. This blank cover provides the required accessibility while keeping it neat. Do not plaster over a junction box.
• Simple Installation: The yoke (grid plate) is screwed onto the 4x4 wall box using the provided screws. The blank coverplate then simply clips firmly into place over the yoke, hiding the screws.
• Correct Application: This cover is specifically for square 4x4 wall boxes. For rectangular 4x2 wall boxes (typically used for light switches), use the Crabtree TOPAZ Blank Cover 2x4.
• Not for Outdoor Use: This product is designed for indoor use only and is not weatherproof.
• Care and Maintenance: To maintain the pristine finish, clean the coverplate with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a cloth lightly dampened with water. Avoid using abrasive pads, solvents, or chemical cleaning agents.
