Onesto Blanking Component

• A modular blanking piece designed to safely and aesthetically fill any unused module slots within the Onesto Oracle modular system.
• This is a component part only; it is a small, S-size insert and not a complete blank plate for covering a wall box.
• Ensures a clean, professional, and seamless finish on custom-built multi-gang switch plates, eliminating unsightly empty holes.
• Allows for ultimate flexibility in design, enabling the creation of custom layouts or providing a placeholder for future expansion.
• Crafted from the same high-impact, UV-stabilised polycarbonate as the rest of the Oracle range, available in White and Black Graphite.
• Designed to clip securely into any compatible Onesto Oracle grid plate/yoke for a perfect, flush fit.
• Guaranteed for quality and durability with a comprehensive 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Features

• Function: A blanking module designed to fill one standard "S-size" slot in an Oracle grid plate.
• Modular Design: A core component of the Oracle system, engineered to integrate perfectly with multi-lever yokes.
• Aesthetic Completion: Provides a visually clean and complete look for custom switch plates with unoccupied slots.
• Premium Material: Manufactured from robust, high-impact, and self-extinguishing polycarbonate for durability and safety.
• Core Colour Options: Available in White or Black Graphite to perfectly match the corresponding grid plates.
• Standardized Form Factor: Designed as a standard "S-size" module for a secure, rattle-free fit.
• Assured Reliability: Backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Benefits

• Professional Finish: The primary benefit is creating a professional, factory-finished appearance on any custom-built switch plate by neatly covering empty module spaces.
• Future-Proofs Installations: Allows you to install a larger grid plate than currently needed, blanking off unused slots for easy and cost-effective addition of new switches in the future.
• Enhanced Safety: Prevents dust, debris, and foreign objects (including fingers) from entering the wall box through an empty slot in the grid plate.
• Complete Design Flexibility: Empowers designers and electricians to create non-standard or asymmetrical switch layouts for specific functional or aesthetic requirements.
• Cost-Effective Solution: A much cheaper alternative to replacing an entire multi-gang grid plate if a switch is removed or a circuit is decommissioned.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

The Onesto Blanking Component is the aesthetic solution for unused module slots. The following table details its specifications.

Ideal Use

This module is exclusively intended for filling empty slots in Onesto Oracle grid plates.

• Partially Populated Grids: The most common use. For example, using a 4-lever grid plate but only installing three switches, with this component filling the fourth slot.
• Future Expansion: Installing a 6-lever grid plate in a new build but only needing four switches initially. The remaining two slots can be filled with these blanks for easy future upgrades.
• Creating Custom Designs: Intentionally leaving gaps in a multi-gang switch plate for a specific aesthetic or to improve spacing between levers.
• Decommissioning a Circuit: Removing a single switch module from a multi-gang plate and using this blank to safely and cleanly cover the resulting hole.

Tips

To avoid purchasing errors, it is critical to understand the precise nature and scale of this product.

• CRITICAL - THIS IS NOT A BLANK PLATE: This is a small, single-module-sized plastic insert. It is designed to fill a small hole in a larger grid plate. It CANNOT cover an entire 4x2 or 4x4 wall box on its own.
• For Covering a Wall Box, Buy the Complete Unit: If you need to cover an entire unused electrical wall box, you must purchase the Onesto Blank Plate 4x2 Complete (ONB4002) or the Onesto Blank Plate 4x4 Complete (ONB4001).
• Example Assembly: To build a 3-lever plate with only two switches, you would need:
  1. One Onesto 3-Lever Grid Plate (e.g., ON2031Y).
  2. Two Switch Modules (e.g., ONM001).
  3. This Blanking Component (ONMBNK).
  4. One Onesto 4x2 Decorative Surround.
• Professional Installation Recommended: While simple to install, if the grid plate is already wired, it should be handled by a qualified electrician to ensure safety.
• Exclusive Compatibility: This blanking component is designed to fit ONLY in Onesto Oracle grid plates. It is not compatible with other Onesto ranges or any other brand.
