I'm sure I've seen 'wings' which can be added to a metal Pattress to be able to fit it into a dry lined wall. Kinda thought it was at QVS but don't see it there. Then maybe Toolstation, but not there either.
Mate has a [double] socket pushed out of a dividing wall and on inspection, it's the [single] socket behind's pattress pushing it through. Both measure 35mm depth and 1 has to give. [both dry lining boxes]
I was planning on swapping out 1 of them with a 25mm metal pattress with those 'wings' to be able to fit it in the wall.
I've seen metal dry lining pattresses intended for fire alarm circuits etc - but all I have seen are still 35mm deep or more.
He's suggested that I cut away the back of the double pattress to allow the single to recess into it - but I have no intention of breaking up the box's integrity like that unless it's considered to be 'safe'
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Ooh! When I say pattress - some folks call them dry lining back boxes...
