What do you need to install your fixture?
Below we provide details of the different pieces you will need depending on how you wish to install this collection:
FAQs
Why are there fixtures with and without a cable inlet? How do I know which one I need to purchase to install it correctly?
The cable inlet is a lateral slot that allows cables to enter for surface wiring. It is not required if you install the fixture on a flush-mount wall box or on a base. If you have any questions, tell Fontini about your situation to receive further guidance.
What finishes are available for cables and conduits for surface wiring? Do you offer black cable?
Cables are only available in two finishes for the Garby collection: dark brown and white. Black cable is not available.
Conduits are also available for surface wiring with an aged metal finish, designed to integrate naturally into classic or rustic environments.
What is the difference between the base and the frame?
The frame is a flat piece, available in wood or porcelain. The base, in contrast, has a larger volume and envelops the rear of the fixture. It is only available in wood. Both accessories can be used for both surface and flush-mount installations.
Do you offer porcelain frames with four gangs?
No, frames with four gangs are not available in porcelain. Due to the properties of this material, a frame of that size would not be strong enough to guarantee its durability.
If you need a solution with four gangs, consider the meticulous selection of wooden frames available in different finishes, which retain the aesthetics of the collection and ensure that the piece remains robust.
When is it necessary to purchase a frame adaptor?
The adaptor is required when you wish to install a Garby fixture with a frame. If the installation is on a flush-mount wall box, the adaptor must include a chassis. If there is no wall box, the adaptor should not include a chassis. The Fontini sales team can help you choose the correct model.
Can the accessories from the Do and Do Low collections be combined with the Garby collection.
The accessories from the Do and Do Low collections (such as frames, bases, knobs and others) are not compatible with fixtures from the Garby collection. Each collection has its own mounting system and dimensions, designed to function exclusively with its family.
Does the collection include a dual switch or rotary switch? What should I do if I need a dual switch or rotary switch?
The Garby collection does not include fixtures with a dual switch or rotary switch? If you need to control two circuits from the same point, you have two options:
- Install two simple rotary switch fixtures next to each other.
- Use the dual push button fixture and connect one remote switch per circuit. This way, the push buttons can perform the same function as the rotary switches.
If you have any questions about which option is best for your installation, get in touch for further assistance.
