Schneider 16A KB31 1-Gang 2-Way Light Switch is an option among wall switches and sockets at Bashiti Stores, intended for equipping daily use points in wall wiring. The function of this piece is a "1-gang 2-way light switch," so start by matching its function with the required point. The word "two-way" describes a switch with two positions, and an intermediate switch has a different function, just as a blank cover is neither a switch nor a socket.
Practical Benefits
- Defining the function and number of gangs helps in selecting the correct piece without confusing switches, sockets, and covers.
- Choosing a unified series allows for coordinating the appearance of electrical points in a room or project.
- Having a clear reference for the part makes it easier to order the correct replacement during maintenance or expansion.

Installation and Verification Method — For Professional Technicians
The following steps outline the general work sequence. Use the manufacturer's diagram for reference KB31 to determine terminals and connection values. Do not perform work on a circuit connected to power.
- The technician disconnects the circuit power and verifies the absence of voltage before removing the old part or touching the conductors.
- Match the function of the part, box size, depth, and screw positions, and identify the terminals by referring to this reference's diagram.
- Mount and connect the part according to the manufacturer's instructions, taking care to observe terminal ratings and avoiding wire crowding behind the faceplate.
- Reinstall the faceplate and covers, then test the required function and ensure the part is secure before restoring use.
Common Questions Before Buying
Does it fit any electrical box?
The box dimensions, depth, and mounting positions must match 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?
It is not intended for such use. Check the protection rating and installation conditions for the model, and choose equipment suitable for the location if moisture or direct water exposure is present.
What should I check when replacing?
Match the function, voltage, and current when a rating is present, then check the terminal type, series, and dimensions. Do not rely on appearance alone to identify a replacement.
