  • Surface-Mounted Socket Outlet | Switch Frame | 2-Gang | Plastic | Retro Style | Black

    Code: SM-01-84

    The black 2-gang surface-mounted frame is designed to combine two compatible switches, socket outlets, or a combination of both into a single unit. Its retro, loft, and vintage-style design is suitable for exposed surface electrical installations in residential, commercial, and historic interior spaces. The frame is made of black PVC plastic and has external dimensions of 170 × 85 mm. Electrical mechanisms are not included and must be selected separately. 

  • Black 2-gang surface-mounted frame – retro and loft style, 170 × 85 mm

    2-gang surface-mounted frame is designed to aesthetically combine two compatible surface-mounted electrical installation components into one common block. Socket outlets, light switches or a combination of both can be installed in the frame, provided the selected components are compatible with this type of frame.

    The classic black design is suitable for retro, vintage, loft, industrial and rustic interiors. The frame helps maintain even spacing between several electrical installation components and creates a neat overall composition on the wall.

    The product is made of PVC plastic. The stated external dimensions are 170 × 85 mm. The frame is a finishing and joining element – it does not replace the socket outlets, switches, their internal mechanisms or mounting bases.

    Two components in one block:
    The frame allows two compatible surface-mounted electrical installation components to be installed side by side, forming a unified horizontal composition.
    For retro and loft interiors:
    The black colour and classically shaped edges can be combined with retro-style switches, socket outlets, surface-mounted wiring, decorative insulators and other visible electrical installation elements.
    Important compatibility information:
    Rėmelis skirtas konkrečios konstrukcijos virštinkiniams jungikliams ir lizdams. Prieš užsakant reikia patikrinti pasirinktų mechanizmų  suderinamumą su rėmeliu.
    The frame is not a standalone electrical device:
    The product performs a decorative and component-joining function. Socket outlets, switches, mechanisms, wiring and other installation parts must be selected and installed separately.

    2-gang design

    The frame is intended for two electrical installation components mounted side by side. It can be used when several switches, several socket outlets, or a combination of switches and socket outlets need to be installed in one location.

    The common frame helps maintain equal spacing between the components, cover the joining areas and give the installation a unified appearance.

    Possible layout examples:
    • Two surface-mounted switches.
    • Two surface-mounted socket outlets.
    • One switch and one socket outlet.

    For surface-mounted electrical installations

    The frame is intended for surface-mounted socket outlets and switches installed directly on a wall or another suitable surface. This installation method is often used in exposed electrical installations where the wiring is routed along the wall surface.

    Surface-mounted installation may be chosen not only for technical simplicity but also as a deliberate part of the interior design. It is particularly suitable for lofts, wooden houses, restored buildings and spaces where cutting channels into the walls is undesirable.

    The mounting surface must be stable:
    The frame and all electrical components installed beneath it must be securely fixed to the wall. Fixing hardware should be selected according to the wall material and the construction of the mechanisms being installed.

    A retro and vintage interior accent

    The classically shaped surface-mounted frame can become a visible interior detail. It is intended not to hide the electrical installation, but to integrate it aesthetically into the overall style of the room.

    The product can be combined with wood finishes, brick walls, decorative plaster, painted concrete, classic furniture, metal interior details and vintage-style light fittings.

    For a consistent style:
    • Use switches and socket outlets in the same colour.
    • Combine the frame with cable fixing elements of the same style.
    • Maintain a consistent mounting height throughout the room.
    • Plan the cable entry direction and component sequence in advance.

    Black housing colour

    The black frame can be subtly combined with light-coloured walls and black switches and socket outlets, or used as a contrasting element on wooden, brick or darker surfaces.

    A uniformly black multi-component block visually unifies two separate mechanisms and reduces the impression of individual housings.

    Shade matching:
    Black plastic components from different series may have slightly different shades of black, surface gloss or texture. For the best result, it is recommended to use mutually compatible components.

    PVC plastic construction

    The frame is made of PVC plastic. The plastic construction provides a uniform shape, low product weight and a black surface finish.

    The PVC frame should be protected from strong impacts, deformation, aggressive chemicals and intense heat sources. Mounting screws must not be overtightened to avoid cracking the plastic part.

    External dimensions 170 × 85 mm

    The overall frame dimensions are 170 × 85 mm. Before installation, make sure there is enough space at the selected wall location for the entire 2-gang block, cable entries and safe access to the mechanisms.

    When measuring the installation location, consider not only the frame itself but also nearby door trims, furniture, wall corners, pipes, decorative details and the cable routing direction.

    Installation procedure

    1. Select the components to be installed. Check that both switches or socket outlets are compatible with the frame.
    2. Plan the component sequence. Decide in advance where the switches and socket outlets will be positioned.
    3. Disconnect the power supply. Check that the circuits are de-energised.
    4. Select the installation location. There must be enough space on the wall for the 170 × 85 mm frame and cable entries.
    5. Check the frame position. Use a spirit level to ensure the two-component block is installed straight.
    6. Mark the mechanism and fixing positions. Follow the mounting design of the specific switches or socket outlets.
    7. Prepare the cable entries. Wires must not be pinched by the frame or the edges of the mechanisms.
    8. Install the electrical mechanisms. Connect them according to the wiring diagram and terminal markings.
    9. Fit the frame. Check that all components align precisely with the openings.
    10. Secure the assembly. Do not overtighten the plastic parts.
    11. Check the alignment. Both components must be aligned in one line and must not press against the frame.
    12. Restore power and check operation. The electrical installation must be checked by a qualified specialist.
    Electrical safety:
    The frame is installed together with socket outlets or switches, therefore all wiring connection and inspection work must be carried out by a qualified electrician. The power supply must be disconnected before installation.

    Usage and maintenance recommendations

    • Use only with mutually compatible surface-mounted components.
    • Do not install a cracked, deformed or otherwise damaged frame.
    • Do not overtighten plastic fixing points.
    • Protect the frame from strong impacts and high temperatures.
    • Do not use abrasive sponges or aggressive solvents.
    • Clean with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth.
    • Periodically check that the frame and mechanisms have not become loose.
    • Disconnect the power before dismantling the frame or electrical components.
