Wall plate/switch cover Ospel RH-2U/70, Grey, IP44, 153×82 mm

Ospel RH-2U/70 is a grey wall plate and switch cover designed to protect and finish electrical switch and socket openings. With dimensions of 153 × 82 mm and a weight of 32 g, this compact cover is suitable for standard mounting environments where splash and light ingress resistance are required. The IP44 rating provides protection against water splashes and solid objects larger than 1 mm, making the plate appropriate for indoor locations and sheltered outdoor installations where occasional moisture exposure may occur.

Advantages

The wall plate is made from durable PC material, offering impact resistance and dimensional stability while remaining lightweight for easy handling. Its neutral grey colour integrates with various interior finishes. The IP44 protection ensures basic weather and splash resistance, and the standard size simplifies replacement of existing covers without modifying wall openings. The slim profile and pre-defined cutouts accommodate typical switch and socket modules used in domestic and commercial settings.

Suitable for

• Covering single or dual switch or socket module openings in homes and apartments
• Sheltered outdoor areas such as porches or garages where splash protection is needed
• Replacement or upgrade of existing wall plates in renovation projects

How to use

Turn off power to the circuit at the consumer unit before removing any existing cover or working on the wiring. Remove the old plate by unscrewing the mounting screws, position the Ospel RH-2U/70 plate over the module opening, and secure it with the appropriate screws. Ensure the module is flush with the wall plate and that seals or gaskets (if present) are correctly seated to maintain IP44 protection. After installation, restore power and test the switches or sockets to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

For retained protection, install the plate in locations protected from direct heavy rain and avoid exposure to prolonged UV when used outdoors. Use compatible mounting screws and ensure that any sealing elements are in good condition to preserve IP44 performance. Regularly inspect for cracks or damage and replace the plate if physical integrity is compromised.
