Troubleshooting

Back box does not fit securely

Ensure mounting holes are correctly drilled and the surface is suitable for securing the box. Use appropriate fixings for the mounting surface.

Difficulty routing cables

Utilize the available knockouts on all sides and the base. If a knockout is too small, it may need to be carefully enlarged with appropriate tools.

Faceplate does not align correctly

Verify that you are using a compatible UK standard faceplate (86x86mm or 86x146mm). Ensure the back box is mounted flush and securely before attaching the faceplate.

Limited space for internal connections

The angled design increases depth. Plan your wiring layout efficiently. For complex installations, consider managing some connections within larger conduits before they enter the box.
