The Kenable flush single back box has a depth of 16mm.
No, this is a single-gang back box designed for single accessories only. A double-gang back box would be required for a double socket.
This back box is designed for indoor installations. For outdoor use, a weatherproof rated enclosure is necessary.
It is constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant galvanised steel.
The product description does not specify if mounting screws are included. Typically, screws for mounting the back box to the wall are sold separately or provided with the wall accessory.
The back box features pre-scored knockout points. You can carefully break these out using pliers or a screwdriver to create the desired cable entry points.
The brass earth terminals are provided for connecting the earth wire from your electrical circuit to the accessory's metal casing, ensuring electrical safety and grounding.
Check that the aperture cut in the wall is precise and that the wall cavity depth is sufficient for the 16mm box. Ensure no obstructions are preventing it from seating properly.
Verify that the correct back box depth (16mm) is being used for the chosen accessory. Ensure the accessory itself is standard UK single-gang.
Gently widen the knockout tab or use appropriate cable glands if needed. Ensure no sharp edges remain after opening the knockout.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This back box is universally compatible with all standard UK single-gang wall sockets, light switches, dimmer switches, and data outlets that require a 16mm depth back box. It is designed for installation in plasterboard or shallow brick wall cavities.
Care:
Clean the exterior of the back box with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the galvanised finish. Ensure electrical connections remain dry and free from dust or debris.
