Description
The brass plate on its own, for the wall you are still planning.
This is the plate from the Brio family, sold by itself: one to five positions of solid brass, two slotted screws on the face, and an open rectangular frame at each position, ready for the Brio toggle, dimmer and outlet modules or for most standard rectangular modules you already have. Choose Brushed Brass, Aged Brass or Matte Black with Brass. It is also the honest way to finish a switch you are not ready to rewire: the plate goes on with a flathead in a minute, and the wall reads as done.
Why you will love it
- Machined from solid brass bar, not plated zinc, so the finish is the metal itself.
- Finishes applied to the metal itself, so they age with the house instead of peeling.
- Thirty days to live with it, and a year of cover on every piece.

Installation guide
Turn off the power at the breaker, remove the old cover plate, set the Brio plate over the module and tighten the two screws with a flathead. No wiring is involved when you are only changing the plate.
- Switch the circuit off at the breaker and confirm it is dead before touching a wire.
- Remove the old plate and switch, noting which wire went where.
- Connect line, load and ground to the Brio module, then seat it in the box.
- Fix the plate with the supplied screws and restore power.
- Have a licensed electrician do the above. It is a short job for them and a warranty condition for you.
Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. No abrasives, no polish. Brass is meant to age with the house.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it fit a standard US wall box?
Yes. Every Brio plate mounts to a standard US box, one gang per position, using the screws already in the box.
Do I need an electrician?
Yes. It is a short job for a licensed electrician, and it keeps the warranty intact.
Will the dimmer work with my LED bulbs?
With dimmable LED lamps, yes. Check the lamp packaging for the word dimmable before you order.
Can I mix a toggle, a dimmer and an outlet on one plate?
Yes. That is what the Build Your Own plate is for. Choose the plate size, then what each position does.
Which finish should I choose?
Brushed Brass reads warm and quiet, Aged Brass darker and softer, Matte Black with Brass sharp against pale walls. The sample kit lets you hold all three against your own wall.
Will the finish wear where I touch it?
The finish is on the brass itself, so it softens with use rather than peeling. Aged Brass is meant to darken further.
Do you offer trade pricing?
Yes. Interior designers, architects and builders can apply to the trade program for preferred pricing, samples and help planning full-room hardware schedules.
