The box mounts directly onto a wall surface without requiring a cut-out or flush installation, making it suitable for environments where surface wiring is specified or where the wall substrate does not allow flush mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in industrial, commercial and utility installations where metalclad wiring accessories are required for durability or safety reasons, the box pairs with two GDF002F 3-4 gang grid mounting frames to support up to 8 modular grid positions, or with GDFP006M and GDFP008M metalclad faceplates. The 44mm depth provides clearance for switch and socket mechanisms, cable terminations and grid module back boxes without crowding the internal space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is pressed from premium grade steel with an IP20 rating for indoor use, and includes a fixed earth terminal for bonding the metalwork to the circuit protective conductor. Pre-punched knockouts on all four sides allow cable entry from any direction, and the box edges are rolled to minimise sharp corners. The 25-year warranty reflects the expected lifespan of the steel construction in typical commercial and light industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e138 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e138 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium grade steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_2201330_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat faceplates and frames does this box support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box accepts two GDF002F 3-4 gang grid mounting frames to hold 6-8 modular grid positions, or the GDFP006M and GDFP008M metalclad faceplates.
