The box measures approximately 147mm in length, 87mm in width, and has a depth of 25mm.
Is this box suitable for outdoor use?
This pattress box is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, a product with a higher IP rating would be required.

Can I paint this pattress box?

Troubleshooting
Box does not sit flush against the surface.
Ensure the mounting surface is flat and free from obstructions. Check that cables are not preventing the box from seating properly.
Knockouts are difficult to remove.
Use a sharp utility knife or appropriate pliers to carefully cut or break away the knockout sections. Ensure safety during this process.
Limited space for cable connections inside.
Ensure the connected device's wiring does not exceed the available space within the pattress box. Use appropriate wire lengths.
