Katy Paty Roo Orange

From £89.00

“Carota” is the newest addition to the colourful Roo range of switches and sockets by Katy Paty – a bright and joyful orange.

These classic round porcelain switches come from a small team of makers in Bohemia. Katy Paty products are solid, virtually indestructible and have a charming retro feel to them.

NB: These switches are meant to be fitted into European back boxes, not standard British rectangular ones. It is theoretically possible to fit them in a square box and fill in the corners, but it is not recommende

Scroll down for essential product details, dimensions, fitting info and more.

Katy Paty switches can be adapted to a range of sockets and connections (like AV, SAT and similar). Please contact us with any specific requirements.

What does an electrician call this?

This is a 1-gang 2-way 10A single pole switch, or 2-gang 2-way 10A single pole switch, or a 1-gang intermediate 10A single pole switch

Where is this used in the home?

A 1-gang 2-way switch is commonly used for controlling a single light source from one or two places. A 1-gang intermediate is used as the middle switch of three, controlling a single light source (for example in a hallway). A 2-gang switch is used for controlling two light sources from one or two places.

 

Installation

Katy Paty switches require a bit more patience to wire up, simply because they are modelled on original designs and don’t have the modern conveniences of push-contacts and encapsulated backplates.

Just follow the step-by-step pictures below or go to ourย Katy Paty switch installation page.ย Don’t forget: you need a European round box for this product!
