Schneider 16A KB31/1 Single-Pole 1-Way Switch is an option among the wall switches and sockets at Bashiti Stores, intended for setting up daily use points within wall wiring. The function of this item is a "single-pole 1-way switch," so ensure you match its function with the required point. The word "intermediate" refers to a 2-way switch, "2-way" describes a different function, and a blank cover plate is neither a switch nor a socket.

Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying
Does it fit any electrical box?
The box dimensions, depth, and mounting positions must be compatible with this model. Similarity in the number of gangs or color does not guarantee compatibility.
Can it be used outdoors or in a location exposed to water?
This is not intended. Check the Ingress Protection (IP) rating and installation conditions for the model, and choose equipment suitable for the location if there is humidity or direct exposure to water.
What should I check when replacing a switch?
Match the function, voltage, and current when a rating is specified, then check the terminal type, series, and dimensions. Do not rely on appearance alone to determine the replacement.
