Product Information

Full details

The Gira Standard 55 surface-mounted box is an ideal solution for homeowners and electrical contractors looking to install switches or sockets on surfaces where flush-mounting is not possible. It provides a clean, professional aesthetic in a durable thermoplastic housing that matches standard interior decors, though users should note that it offers an IP20 protection rating, meaning it is intended for dry indoor use only.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this box suitable for outdoor use?

No, the Gira Standard 55 surface-mounted box has an IP20 rating, which does not provide protection against moisture or water, making it strictly for indoor use.

Can I mount this horizontally and vertically?

Yes, the product is designed to be flexible and can be mounted in either direction depending on the requirements of your switch or socket configuration.

What is the color code for this product?

The product is finished in RAL 9010, which is a standard glossy white.

What material is the box made of?

It is made of durable, high-quality thermoplastic.

Will this fit other brands of switches?

This box is specifically designed for Gira Standard 55 components. While some modular components might fit, we recommend using Gira brand accessories for a perfect fit and safety compliance.

Troubleshooting

Housing feels loose on the wall

Check that the wall anchors used are appropriate for your specific wall material (e.g., masonry vs. drywall) and ensure all screws are tightened securely.

Frame does not sit flush against the box

Verify that no wires are trapped between the insert and the housing and that the insert is pushed fully into the housing cavity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Installation

  1. Ensure power to the circuit is disconnected before beginning any electrical work.
  2. Secure the housing to the wall using the appropriate mounting holes and screws.
  3. Feed your wiring through the designated cable entries at the rear or side of the box.
  4. Install the Gira Standard 55 insert into the housing and secure it according to the specific switch or socket instructions.
  5. Attach the frame and cover plate to finalize the look.

Compatibility

This box is compatible with the Gira Standard 55 product family. It is intended for dry, interior locations and is not suitable for damp rooms where higher IP ratings are required.

Care

To maintain the glossy finish, wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or solvents, as these can degrade the thermoplastic material and dull the white surface.
