Product Information

Full details

The British General Nexus Metal NBN95 is an ideal choice for homeowners and electricians looking to safely seal unused electrical wall boxes with a premium, modern aesthetic. This 2-gang blanking plate offers a sophisticated black nickel finish that resists fingerprints, providing a clean look to any wall; however, its slim 7mm profile may require a standard depth back box to ensure a flush fit against uneven wall surfaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this blanking plate outdoors?

No, this product is intended for indoor use only as it is not IP-rated for weather resistance.

Does the blanking plate come with the necessary screws?

Yes, it includes colour-matched fixing screws for a coordinated, clean installation.

Is the earth terminal mandatory?

You should follow current IET Wiring Regulations. Generally, metal accessories require earthing to ensure safety.

What is the warranty period?

The product includes a 25-year manufacturer warranty, provided it is installed according to the instructions.

Will the black nickel finish fade over time?

The plate features a light lacquer to prevent tarnishing, but proper care and avoiding chemical cleaners are essential for longevity.

Is this plate suitable for a standard 2-gang back box?

Yes, it is designed for universal compatibility with standard UK 2-gang back boxes.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not sit flush against the wall

Ensure that no wires or debris are obstructing the back box cavity, and check that the back box is not recessed too deeply into the wall.

Screws appear to be stripping or not catching

Check that the back box lugs are aligned correctly; if the lugs are damaged, they may need to be repaired or replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, fingerprint-resistant black nickel finish
  • Easy to install with provided colour-matched screws
  • Includes moisture-controlling gasket for long-term durability
  • Backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty
  • Complies with rigorous BS 5733 safety standards

Cons

  • Slim 7mm profile might show gaps on uneven walls
  • Requires a standard back box for optimal fit
  • Metal construction may be prone to scratching if installed with improper tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Ensure the electrical supply to the relevant circuit is isolated and tested dead.
  2. Verify the back box is securely mounted and clear of excess debris.
  3. Connect the earth wire to the plate's earth terminal if required by your specific wiring configuration.
  4. Align the plate with the back box holes and secure using the supplied colour-matched screws.
  5. Do not overtighten, as this may distort the slim profile of the plate.

Compatibility

This 2-gang plate is designed to fit standard UK 2-gang electrical back boxes. It is compatible with most flush-mounted or surface-mounted boxes meeting BS specifications.

Care

Clean the surface only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or chemicals, as these can strip the protective lacquer and lead to tarnishing over time.
