Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this pattress box fire-rated?
This product is made of standard high-quality electrical plastic; please consult your local building regulations if specific fire-rating is required for your installation.
Can I use this for a double socket?
No, this is a 1-gang (single) pattress box and will not fit double-gang (2-gang) accessories.
Does this come with mounting screws?
The box typically includes the housing itself; you should use appropriate wall screws depending on your specific wall substrate (masonry vs. timber).
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
This pattress box is intended for internal electrical installations and is not weather-sealed for outdoor environments.
What does the 25mm depth mean?
It refers to the internal clearance of the box from the wall surface, which is standard for most modern flat-profile light switches and socket outlets.
Troubleshooting
Faceplate feels loose after installation
Check that the faceplate screws are fully tightened into the pattress box lugs and ensure the box itself is securely anchored to the wall.
Wires are difficult to fit inside the box
The 25mm depth is shallow; ensure you are not using oversized terminal blocks or excess cabling that may prevent the faceplate from sitting flush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure the power is isolated at the mains before beginning. Use the pre-drilled points for mounting screws to secure the box to the wall surface or stud work. This box is fully compatible with standard UK 1-gang electrical accessories. Maintenance is minimal; simply wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth if dust accumulates during installation. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the high-quality plastic over time.
