Walton-1-Gang PVC Concealed Wall Box – Matte Black -WPCB1GM2 (Black)

Why Should You Order & FAQ

Installing low-grade or metal back boxes behind dark, modern modular switch plates often leads to long-term structural and aesthetic compromises. Thin metal back boxes corrode quickly due to dampness inside plaster walls and present serious shock hazards if an uninsulated wire makes contact. Flimsy plastic alternatives can warp under concrete pressure, causing screw holes to misalign. The Walton 1-Gang PVC Concealed Wall Box (WPCB1GM2 Black) solves these issues by offering heavy-duty structural rigidity in a compact 45mm profile. Molded from non-conductive PVC with a sleek Matte Black finish, it eliminates electrical hazards while providing seamless aesthetic alignment for dark-toned switches and faceplates. With a standard 60.3 mm brass nut hole pitch and leak-proof conduit connections, choosing genuine Walton concealed boxes guarantees speed of installation, long-term safety, and structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

 What is the difference between the 52mm and 45mm WPCB1GM2 models?
While both models share the same 86×86 mm face dimensions, 60.3 mm nut hole pitch, and high-impact non-conductive properties, this WPCB1GM2 (Black) variant features a 45 mm depth. This shallower depth makes it ideal for wall structures with restricted cutout depths, while still providing plenty of space for standard wiring loops.

Why choose a Matte Black concealed box instead of a standard white box?
A Matte Black back box provides a clean, professional aesthetic when installing dark, modern, or glass-finish modular switch plates. It prevents light-colored box edges from showing around the plate borders and offers a sleek look prior to switch installation.

How do I join electrical conduits to this concealed box?
The knockout ports on the Walton WPCB1GM2 support dual joining methods: you can use standard PVC solvent cement for a permanent, watertight weld or threaded conduit adapters for a tight, dust-proof mechanical connection.

 Is this box compatible with standard 1-gang switch plates?
Yes. The box is engineered with a standard 60.3 mm nut hole center-to-center dimension, making it universally compatible with all standard 86×86 mm 1-gang switches, sockets, fan dimmers, and data faceplates.
