The Knightsbridge 2-gang 25mm galvanised steel extension box adds depth to flush-mounted wall boxes that have been sunk too deeply into plasterwork or need additional space to accommodate thicker wiring accessories. The box is fabricated from 1.0mm galvanised steel sheet and measures 132mm wide by 72mm high, matching the standard footprint of 2-gang UK back boxes.
Designed for residential and commercial electrical installations, the extension box sits between the flush back box and the faceplate, raising the mounting lugs by 25mm to bring them closer to the finished wall surface. This is common when a plasterer has set a back box too deep, when insulation has been added behind plasterboard, or when a deeper accessory such as a dimmer module or USB socket won't fit the original box depth. The single adjustable lug allows the faceplate to be levelled during fitting, and the multiple 20mm knockouts on all four sides provide cable entry points for surface conduit runs or additional cables that couldn't fit the original box.
The galvanised finish resists corrosion in damp wall cavities and provides a good earth continuity path through the steel frame. An earth terminal is fitted to the side of the box for bonding the earthing conductor. The 25mm depth is the most common extension size for correcting over-deep installations without protruding excessively from the wall — stacking multiple extension boxes is possible where greater depth is needed but check load ratings before doing so.

When would I need an extension box?
Extension boxes are used when a flush back box has been sunk too deeply into the wall during first-fix, when insulation or plasterboard has been added over an existing box reducing its effective depth, or when a new deeper accessory such as a dimmer or USB socket won't fit the original box. The extension box raises the mounting lugs by 25mm to bring them closer to the finished wall surface.
Can I stack multiple extension boxes?
Yes, multiple extension boxes can be stacked to achieve greater depth, but check that the total weight of the extended box plus the accessory does not exceed safe loading for the original back box fixing. Heavy accessories on deeply extended boxes may require additional support.
Does the box include an earth terminal?
Yes. An earth terminal is fitted to the side of the box for bonding the main earthing conductor, ensuring continuity through the galvanised steel frame.
What are the 20mm knockouts for?
The knockouts on all four sides allow cable entry from surface conduit runs or additional cables that couldn't fit through the original back box. Standard 20mm conduit fittings and grommets fit the knockouts once removed.
