Additional related video.
The Clipsal Iconic 40M-VW (40M-VW) is a 1-way/2-way switch mechanism rated 10A 250V, supplied as a bare mechanism for use with Iconic grid plates and cover skins. The 40M-VW (40M-VW) suits lighting control in residential applications and can operate small motor loads such as exhaust fans. As a mechanism-only component, it integrates with any Clipsal Iconic grid and cover plate combination, allowing electricians and renovators to build a switch assembly to specification and finish choice.
The standalone mechanism fills a key need on the jobsite. Swapped-out mechanisms account for a significant portion of electrical work in retrofits and additions, where existing cover plates and grids are often retained. Stocking mechanisms separately lets electricians repair or upgrade failing switches without replacing the entire plate assembly, reducing waste and keeping customers' preferred finishes intact. The 40M-VW's adjustable installation design suits retrofit work where mounting conditions vary across different wall depths.
Licensed electricians value the Clipsal Iconic range for interchangeability across all gang counts and variants. The same mechanism fits 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-gang grid plates and accepts the full range of Iconic cover skins in every colour and finish. The 1-way/2-way design makes it flexible for single-direction or two-way lighting control on residential circuits. This interchangeability reduces the number of stock lines needed and creates a routine margin on mechanism-only repairs, sitting between minor maintenance and full switch upgrades.
The Clipsal Iconic 40M-VW is not suitable for outdoor or weatherproof applications. Do not install in damp locations, bathrooms, laundries, kitchens with steam, or external walls without weatherproof enclosure. The 40M-VW is a mechanism only and not functional standalone. It must be assembled with a compatible Clipsal Iconic grid plate and cover plate before installation.
