Why Should You Order & FAQ
When installing dual-gang surface switches or heavy-duty power socket combinations, a double-width back box must maintain total structural integrity across its entire 172 mm span. Standard or unbranded plastic double boxes often suffer from thin molding, causing the center of the box to bow or crack when tightened onto uneven walls. This flexing puts strain on terminal connections, leads to loose faceplates, and increases the risk of electrical arcing. Additionally, cheap boxes rely on plastic screw threads that easily strip during installation, leaving heavy dual sockets wobbly and hazardous. The Walton W2MOB 2 Gang Outer Box solves these issues completely. Built from rigid (hard) PVC with reinforced side walls and embedded brass knurled nuts, it handles high screw torque with ease and provides a flat, rock-solid surface connection. Combined with certified fire-retardant safety, complete resistance to water and pests, and a spacious 35 mm internal depth for clean cable routing, genuine Walton back boxes deliver professional reliability and safety for any commercial or residential installation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What devices fit inside the Walton W2MOB 2 Gang Outer Box?
The W2MOB is built to the standard 172 mm x 86 mm double-gang footprint. It seamlessly fits all standard 2-gang surface switch plates, dual power sockets, combined switch-and-socket plates, and modular regulator faceplates.
Why are brass knurled nuts essential for a 2-gang box?
Double-gang faceplates are larger and frequently subjected to higher plug insertion forces. Solid brass knurled nuts allow installers to apply maximum torque to faceplate screws without stripping the threads, ensuring the faceplate remains tight and flush against the box indefinitely.
Can the W2MOB box be used in damp indoor locations like kitchens or basements?
Yes. The high-density rigid PVC casing is completely waterproof and resistant to aqueous solutions, rust, and humidity, making it an ideal choice for utility areas, kitchens, and commercial workspaces.
Does the material degrade or change color after extended exposure?
No. The Walton W2MOB features anti-yellowing and weather-resistant additives within its PVC compound, preventing discoloration, fading, or embrittlement even after long-term exposure to ambient light and thermal changes.
