Product Specifications

Trinity Range Integration

The Trinity Blank Cover 4X2 is designed to be visually indistinguishable from the frame of any other Trinity 4x2 device. When installed, it seamlessly blends in with adjacent switches and sockets, ensuring the continuity of the sleek, modern design language.

Ideal Use

A blank cover is used in any situation where a 4x2 wall box is installed but is not currently needed for a switch, socket, or other active device.

• Decommissioned Points: The perfect way to safely and neatly cover a switch or socket outlet that is no longer required.
• Junction Boxes: Used to provide access to a junction box while ensuring a safe and tidy finish on the wall surface.
• Future Installations: Ideal for covering pre-installed wall boxes in a new build or renovation, allowing for future installation of a switch or socket without needing to cut into the finished wall.
• Removing Old Technology: Use to cover up holes left from old, removed technology like outdated telephone points or alarm keypads.
• Maintaining Design Symmetry: Can be installed for purely aesthetic reasons to balance a wall where a functional switch on one side needs a matching visual element on the other.

Tips

• Ensure Wires are Safe: Before installing the blank cover, ensure that any wires within the box are safely terminated. This typically means using appropriate connectors (e.g., "chocolate block" connectors) and insulating tape. This work should be done by a qualified electrician.
• Level Mounting: For the best visual result, use a spirit level during installation to ensure the cover is mounted perfectly straight. This enhances the clean, geometric lines of the Trinity design.
• Do Not Over-tighten: Tighten the mounting screws until the plate is snug against the wall. Over-tightening can crack the polycarbonate frame.
• Cleaning: To clean the cover plate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or chemical sprays, as they can damage the finish.
• Keep it Accessible: While it provides a clean finish, remember that a blank cover over a junction box should remain accessible and not be permanently covered by furniture or fixtures.
