Flexible 1 or 2 Module Grid Frame

The RFR12 is designed specifically for BG Grid front plates that accommodate one or two Grid modules.

This allows electricians to build customised switching arrangements by combining the frame with the required compatible modules and decorative front plate.

The modular format makes it particularly useful where a standard pre-configured switch does not provide the exact combination of functions required.

Universal BG Grid Compatibility

A major advantage of the RFR12 is its compatibility across several BG wiring-accessory ranges.

BG specifies the frame for use with compatible:

• Metal Clad
• White Moulded
• Nexus Metal
• Part M

front plates.

Designed for Screwed Grid Plates

The RFR12 is intended for BG screwed Grid front plates. BG's current product information describes it as a Grid frame for one- or two-module screwed plates.

The correct compatible frame, modules and front plate should therefore be selected together when assembling a complete Grid accessory.

Quick Modular Installation

The BG Grid system is designed around a straightforward modular installation process.

BG's installation literature describes the basic sequence as mounting the Grid frame to the box, wiring and clipping the required module or modules into the frame, and then fitting the finished front plate.

This modular approach allows the required electrical functions to be selected independently from the decorative front plate.

Earth Terminal Fitted as Standard

The RFR12 incorporates one earth terminal as standard, providing an integral connection point within the mounting frame.

This is particularly useful when the frame is being incorporated into suitable metal wiring-accessory installations where correct earthing arrangements are essential.

Metal Clad Spacers Included

BG supplies the RFR12 with spacers specifically for use with Metal Clad front plates.

This allows the universal frame to be adapted appropriately when incorporated into compatible BG Metal Clad Grid installations.

Fixing Screws Supplied

The RFR12 is supplied with the required fixing screws for mounting, reducing the number of separate components needed when assembling the Grid accessory.

Compact Grid Mounting Frame

Published dimensions for the RFR12 are approximately 67.7mm high, 79mm wide and 11.8mm deep.

Its compact dimensions allow the frame to sit behind the appropriate finished BG Grid plate while securely locating compatible modules.

IP20 Rated

The RFR12 carries an IP20 ingress-protection rating.

It is therefore intended to form part of an appropriate indoor electrical accessory installation rather than serving as a weatherproof enclosure by itself.

Customisable BG Grid System

The BG Nexus Grid range is designed to allow installers to create customised electrical accessory combinations.

Rather than being restricted to a factory-configured switch arrangement, the installer can select the required compatible Grid module or modules, frame and front plate to suit the particular application.

The RFR12 provides the mounting frame for one- and two-module configurations.

Suitable for Domestic Installations

The modular BG Grid system makes the RFR12 useful for residential projects where customised switching arrangements are required.

It can form part of Grid installations in kitchens, living spaces, bedrooms, hallways, utility rooms and other appropriate indoor locations.

Suitable for Commercial Installations

The RFR12 can also be incorporated into compatible Grid arrangements in commercial premises.

Typical applications can include offices, retail environments, hospitality premises, workshops and other buildings where modular electrical controls provide a practical solution.

Important Compatibility Information

The RFR12 forms part of BG's newer Nexus Grid platform. Retailer documentation notes that the Grid system introduced in 2021 is not interchangeable with the previous BG Grid range, so compatibility should be checked when replacing components in older installations.

For new installations, the RFR12 should be paired with the appropriate current-generation BG Grid modules and compatible screwed front plate.

25-Year Warranty

BG Electrical specifies a 25-year warranty for the RFR12, providing long-term reassurance for correctly specified and installed Grid accessories.
