## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use an existing box to fit this fit plate to?**
A: Yes you can use an existing box as long as it is at least 25mm deep and to make is look right it needs to be a flush box that is sunk into the wall

**Q: I understand this is not an intermediate switch (thanks for reply). what is the code for an intermediate two gang? fbs13 is a one gang switch.**
A: fbs13 intermedia switch. 
thank you

**Q: Is it possible to wire this light switch without earthing? I have old wiring where theres no earth on the light switches**
A: Hello,
With all metal switches and light fittings you should have an earth. By not having an earth, it will not affect the way the switch works but it’s purely a safety issue. If either of the wires touch the metal casing, live when the switch is off or either when the switch is on, the casing will be live and the risk of an electric shock is there. My recommendation would be to keep to plastic if you have no earth available.
Kindest regards,
Andy.

**Q: can this also be used as an intermediate switch?**
A: Hi Carol,
It is a 2 way switch. Can be used with the Intermediate switch which is FBS13 BUT can't be used as one.
Hope this helps
