Product Description
Overview
This 3×6 Plastic Conduit Box, with an overall size of 3 in × 6 in × 38 mm depth, is designed especially for flush mounting within plasterboards/drywalls. It provides a secure, durable housing for cables, switches or sockets—neatly recessed to avoid bulging out from wall surfaces.
Key Features
-
Dimensions: 3 inch (height) × 6 inch (width) × 38 mm (depth)
-
Material: High-quality non-conductive plastic (e.g., PVC/ABS blend) – lightweight, rust-proof, and suitable for indoor electrical installations
-
Recessed Design: Made to sit flush within plasterboard (drywall), allowing finishing work (skimming, plastering) to conceal edges, giving a smooth wall finish
-
Knockouts / Conduit entry points: Pre-scored knockouts (or holes) on sides for standard conduit sizes (specify if ½", ¾", etc.)
-
Cable capacity & clearance: Sufficient internal volume for typical twin-and-earth or multi-core cables; enough space for wire bends without damaging insulation
-
Fire & Safety Compliance: (If applicable) conforms to [insert local standard, e.g. IEC, BS, NEC] to ensure safe wiring and insulation
-
Durability: Resistant to moisture, basic chemicals; retains shape under stress; non-corrosive
Applications
-
Electrical switch boxes (light switches, socket outlets) embedded in plasterboard walls
-
Low-voltage installations (data, alarm, audio) where flush mount is desired
-
Renovations, new builds, commercial and domestic drywall installations
-
Ideal for use in partitions, false ceilings, or walls where plasterboard finishing is required
Installation Notes
-
Mark and cut a flush opening in plasterboard matching 3×6 size; make sure wall cavity is deep enough for 38mm depth plus room behind for wiring
-
Use drywall screws or plastic anchors for mounting, if required
-
If using plaster skim, protect the box against plaster ingress during finishing
-
Ensure proper cable entry via knockouts/conduits; use grommets if needed to prevent cable abrasion
