DESCRIPTION A useful 1 gang steel surface mounting box to conceal your electrical wiring where it is not practical, or possible, to create a cavity in a wall or beam. This box is painted in plain ivory to match our range of electrical switch and socket plates. In order to retain a clean look our switch and socket designs have a flush fitting back plate enabling them to sit neatly up against the wall. However, in order to achieve this, the plastic connector box will need to be housed within a cavity in the wall as there is physically no room within the switch plate itself. This means that if you do not already have such a cavity, you need to consult a qualified electrician about fitting a mounting box into your wall. This is generally not a problem if you have plasterboard walls but may be more difficult if they are solid brick or lath and plaster. Product Information Dimensions: 8.6W x 8.6H x 4.2D (cm) Knowledge Base Guides Everything you need to know about switches and sockets Our guide to dimmer switches How to wire switches and sockets Finish Plain Ivory: A subtle and versatile powder coated paint finish in a delicate warm-white that is ideal for creating a country house feel and is suitable for both internal and external fittings. It is created in a powder coating process that creates a smooth, hard-wearing surface. Sign up to our newsletter
