Product Information
Full details
The Legrand 080052 Batibox is a double-sided plastic junction box designed for concealed electrical installations in hollow walls, offering a secure and tidy solution for up to five insertion sockets. Its primary benefit is providing a robust housing for electrical components within plasterboard, ensuring a clean finish. A potential caveat is its specific suitability for dry lining applications, requiring appropriate wall construction.

Troubleshooting
Box does not fit securely in the wall.
Ensure the cutout in the plasterboard matches the box dimensions precisely. Check that the spreading mechanism or screws are properly engaged with the wall material.
Difficulty connecting wires to the terminal block.
Ensure wires are stripped to the appropriate length. Verify that the terminal block is clean and free of debris. Consult the wiring diagram for correct insertion.
Sockets do not sit flush after installation.
Re-check the cutout size and ensure no obstructions are preventing the sockets from seating correctly. Ensure the box itself is installed plumb and level.
