Designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional electricians alike, the Loops 47mm Plasterboard Back Box is the ideal solution for mounting electrical fixtures securely into drywall or stud walls. These boxes provide a robust housing for switches and sockets, ensuring a flush finish and a stable foundation for your electrical connections; however, users should ensure their wall cavity has at least 47mm of clearance to accommodate the depth of the unit.

No, these are specifically designed for plasterboard or stud walls using a clamping mechanism.
These boxes are designed for walls between 3mm and 18mm thick.
The back box typically includes the mounting screws for the side clips; face plate screws are usually provided with the switch or socket itself.
These are individual single-gang boxes. If you need a double socket, you should purchase a dedicated double-gang back box.
The rear of the box features cable entry points where you can feed your electrical cables through before securing the unit to the wall.
Check that the side clips have fully engaged with the rear of the plasterboard and tighten the mounting screws firmly.
Ensure the drywall cut-out is not too large and that no debris is trapped between the box flange and the wall surface.
Verify that your wall cavity has at least 47mm of clear depth and that no wall studs or insulation are obstructing the space.
Installation requires a sharp drywall saw or a 75mm hole saw. Ensure you have mapped your electrical circuits and turned off the power before cutting into any wall surface.
Compatibility:
These units are compatible with all standard UK face plates including single-gang light switches, power sockets, dimmer modules, and Cat6 Ethernet face plates.
