White Surface-Mount Installation Box – Ø80 × 35 mm, Thermoplastic, for Retro Electrical Installation
Surface-mount installation box is designed to adapt flush-mounted switches and socket outlets for surface mounting. Using this box, an electrical installation component normally intended for flush mounting can be installed on the wall surface.
The box is used together with compatible switches and socket outlets. It is a practical solution when electrical installation is not intended to be recessed into the wall or when an open, visible surface-mounted electrical installation is desired.
The housing is made of heat-resistant thermoplastic. The white colour and round shape allow the box to be aesthetically combined with retro, vintage, loft or classic-style electrical installation components.
Converts a flush-mounted component into a surface-mounted one:
The box is designed to be mounted onto the wall surface, with a compatible flush-mounted switch or socket outlet installed on top of it. This allows a component intended for flush mounting to be used in a surface-mounted electrical installation.Surface-mounted electrical installation solution:
The box allows a surface-mounted electrical installation to be created, with switches or socket outlets installed on the wall surface rather than recessed into the wall. This solution is particularly suitable for renovation projects or when complicated wall chasing is to be avoided.Important compatibility information:
The box is intended for use only with mechanically compatible flush-mounted switches and socket outlets. Before installation, make sure that the selected electrical installation component is designed for use with this type of installation box.Product type

This box is intended for situations where a flush-mounted switch or socket outlet is available, but it needs to be installed using a surface-mounted method.
The box provides a mounting base between the wall surface and the electrical installation component. It allows the appearance of the selected switch or socket outlet to be retained while changing its mounting method from flush-mounted to surface-mounted.
Main operating principle:- The box is attached to the wall surface.
- A compatible flush-mounted switch or socket outlet is installed into the box.
- The electrical installation is connected to the installed component.
- The final result is an electrical installation component mounted on the wall surface.
Surface-mounted installation
Surface mounting means that electrical installation components are installed on the wall surface rather than recessed into the wall.
This solution can be particularly useful when renovating older buildings, wooden houses, country houses or other properties where wall demolition, chasing or creating new flush-mounting locations is not desirable.
Advantages of surface-mounted installation:- There is no need to recess the switch or socket directly into the wall.
- Compatible components designed for flush mounting can be used.
- Suitable for open and visible electrical installation.
- Can be a convenient solution when renovating premises.
- Helps maintain the appearance of retro or classic surface-mounted electrical installation.
For retro and classic-style interiors
The white colour and round design allow the installation box to be combined with retro, vintage, classic or loft-style electrical installation components.
The box can be used together with white switches, socket outlets, decorative cables and other surface-mounted electrical installation components.
Interior design ideas:- Suitable for light-coloured walls and wood finishes.
- Can be combined with white retro-style switches.
- Can be used together with white surface-mounted socket outlets.
- Suitable for electrical installation in renovated country houses, lofts and vintage interiors.
Heat-resistant thermoplastic
The installation box is made of thermoplastic, a heat-resistant plastic.
The plastic construction keeps the product lightweight and compact. The white colour is designed to match other light-coloured electrical installation components.
Ø80 × 35 mm dimensions
The installation box has a diameter of 80 mm and a height of 35 mm. These dimensions are important when assessing the required space on the wall and compatibility with the switch or socket outlet being installed.
