Product Information

Full details

The Gira E2 2-gang surface-mounted box (106229) is an ideal solution for homeowners and professionals looking to mount flush-style wiring devices on solid walls where in-wall installation is not feasible. This housing offers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that complements modern interiors while ensuring robust protection for your switchgear. While it provides a clean look, users should note that it is designed for indoor use with an IP20 rating, meaning it is not suitable for damp or exterior environments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used outdoors?

No, this product is rated IP20, which is for indoor use only. It is not protected against moisture.

Does it include the internal switches?

No, this is the housing (surface-mounted box) and cover frame only. Switches or outlets must be purchased separately.

Can I mount it vertically?

Yes, the design supports both horizontal and vertical mounting to match your layout requirements.

Is the finish matte or glossy?

The finish is a high-gloss white (RAL 9010).

What does halogen-free mean?

It means the material does not release toxic halogen gases in the event of a fire, making it a safer option for indoor installations.

Is it compatible with non-Gira switches?

The box is designed specifically for Gira E2 components. Using other brands may result in fitment issues.

Troubleshooting

The cover frame does not sit flush.

Ensure that the internal switchgear is fully seated in the box and that no stray wires are obstructing the frame's mounting points.

Housing feels loose on the wall.

Check that you have used the appropriate mounting hardware for the wall substrate (e.g., masonry plugs for brick) and that all screws are tightened evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clean and modern aesthetic
  • Easy horizontal or vertical orientation
  • Halogen-free material for increased safety
  • Durable shock-resistant construction
  • Simplified installation with dedicated cable entries

Cons

  • Not suitable for outdoor or damp locations (IP20 rating)
  • Surface mounting adds projection from the wall
  • Requires specific Gira E2 inserts for optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic electrical tools. Ensure that the main power is disconnected before beginning any work. The box should be securely fastened to the wall surface using appropriate anchors for the wall material.

Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for the Gira E2 series. While standard flush-mounted inserts can often be used, ensure compatibility with the specific 2-gang frame dimensions provided.

Care: The thermoplastic casing is easy to maintain. Clean the surface using a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong solvents, as these may damage the glossy finish.
