FAQs

Is this switch suitable for lighting circuits?

While it can technically function, it is specifically designed and rated for appliance isolation like waste disposals.

Can I use this with other grid brands?

No, this is specifically designed for the MK Grid Plus system and is unlikely to fit frames from other manufacturers.

Does it come with a mounting frame?

No, the module is sold as a standalone component and requires a separate MK Grid Plus mounting frame and faceplate.

What is the benefit of a double pole switch?

A double pole switch disconnects both the Live and Neutral conductors, which is safer for isolating appliances during repair or maintenance.

What is the maximum amperage this switch can handle?

The switch is rated for 20 Amps, which is sufficient for most standard residential waste disposal units.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose in the grid frame

Ensure the retaining clips on the back of the module are fully snapped into the mounting frame.

Unit does not power on

Verify that all wires are securely fastened into the terminals and check the circuit breaker at the consumer unit.

Pros and Cons

  • High amperage rating suitable for heavy-duty appliances
  • Double pole safety for secure isolation
  • Modular system allows for customized wall plate setups
  • Matches standard MK white wiring accessories

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, snap the switch module into an empty aperture of an MK Grid Plus mounting frame. Ensure all connections are tightened to the recommended torque specifications using a screwdriver to prevent arcing. This switch is compatible with all MK Grid Plus mounting frames. For care, wipe the white faceplate with a dry or lightly dampened microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can cause discoloration or surface scratches over time.
