Does anyone know where I can find a steel equivalent or at least what to search for? (Excuse the grubbiness!) Thanks!

Hi,

I would call it a 3 gang switch, something like this.

It's a 2-gang fused connector unit (FCU).

Sorry - that's not correct. This is a modular switch system, no fuses involved.

You look for modular switches/grid switches, plenty in Screwfix, Toolstation, CPC etc

Thank you! So the middle one is a blank, it doesn't hold a fuse?

Something like this should do you:

You can get two way units but if you already have a cut out in the wall, a three way with a blank in the centre position might be a better option.

You may also need a change of backbox.

Its a 3 gang grid (ob only two ways are used). Ensure the switches are heavy enough for the load (~3.0kW).
