hi I'm looking to replace a plastic light switch with chrome one. The back boxes are metal and have earth wires connected to the back box terminal.
The earth terminal on my chrome faceplate is very small, I was unable to get the earth wire- which was 3 thick copper wires in one green yellow pvc sleeaving into the terminal on the face plate.
Can I use some earth wire (stranded) to connect to the face plate from the existing earth terminal on back box and leave the original thick earth wire in the back box terminal also so it is all connected. As I cannot connect directly to face plate
Many thanks
