Not quite as you want it - but close:Hey,
Do these exist for plasterboard/dry lining? As in put 3 singles side-by-side.
I know dual accessory ones exist.

How about this one ?I'm sure someone made a range of drylining boxes where you could replace the plasterboard grips with a coupling peice but I can't seem to find a link at the moment.
Good find, but I wonder how stable that arrangement would be given that only two plasterboard holding clips will be available, one at either end.How about this one ?I'm sure someone made a range of drylining boxes where you could replace the plasterboard grips with a coupling peice but I can't seem to find a link at the moment.
You can cut the plasterboard carefully and have three singles or two doubles side by side about an inch and a bit apart.As in put 3 singles side-by-side.
Agreed - but, assuming they hold the boxes together fairly rigidly, that same issue would apply to any solution which satisfied the OP's stated requirement, wouldn't it? I did wonder whether tightening the screws might cause the ends of those connectors to grip onto the plasterboard at top and bottom, but I don't think it does.Good find, but I wonder how stable that arrangement would be given that only two plasterboard holding clips will be available, one at either end.
The problem I have found with those dual box arrangements is tha they are just fine if you are using standard white accessories.
The problem arrises with many of the decor finishes (chrome, satin, etc)
These are often wider than the white ones and they do not fit side by side.

True - and if one wasn't concerned about the unusual appearance, one could theoretically do that will all the accessories (provided they were singles). However, I'm not sure how one would join the boxes together - connectors like I linked to would probably not work with that box orientation - at least, not without some modification/butchery of the boxes.In addition to my earlier suggestion of attaching say three single boxes to a suitable strip of timber to create a rigid setup before fitting into the aperture, if the middle accessory is something like, say a TV aerial socket, there's nothing to stop you turning it 90 degrees so that the fixing tabs go up and down, giving the middle box an adequate fix. I say aerial socket because there's no particular way up, unlike many other accessories.
