Electrical back box question
I want to put two single width (85mm) BS3676 switch plates side-by-side
on a wall. I understand that a flush-mounting, 35mm deep metal back box is available which is just a bit bigger than a double width back box and has a metal strip down the centre of the opening. This strip has mounting holes so that two 85mm plates can be mounted flush together. Anybody know who is the manufacturer of this type of back box? Or can anyone give me a part number and source, please? |

For example MK list no. 887 ZIC dual flush box (also 888 ZIC dividing screen for dual flush box, for where you need segregation between the two sides). -- Andy |
