How to Choose Surface Box?

1. The Depth of a Surface Mounting PVC Box.

There are multiple choices for the depth of a PVC surface box, such as 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, and 45mm.

What you need to do first is check the space and decide which depth to go for.

For instance, some people fix it in a kitchen cupboard. The inside switch is the power supply for the cooker control unit. That means the space will be pretty crowded. So better choose 25mm.

In a word, you can find a match one to fit your outlets of different sizes.

2. Material of the Electrical Nut box

Materials vary a lot for an electrical nut box.

PC is resilient and can serve a much longer time, however, its cost is pretty high.

PP is cheap but it is quite brittle, and it can crap easily.

PVC is the ideal one for a surface mounting box since it is pleasing in price and stubborn in quality.

After properly molded injection, the PVC box can serve decades.

3. Punch-outs from the Socket Mounting Box

Pay much more attention to the size of the punch-outs.

The widest hole in the PVC socket mounting box is 40mm. This is able to pass numbers of 2.5 cables at the same time.

Besides, each side is placed with punch-outs which enable work given different situations
