1 Gang 20mm Spacer

[securespark]

Am looking for one of these to extend the depth of a box.

White, with square corners.

I can find plenty of spacers 10mm, rounded corners.

Does anyone know where to find one?

Cheers.

No, doesn't exist, all plastic fittings have rounded corners. I thought you were a spark?

What??
Like these?

Yes, I was working on electrics in the early eighties.

Never seen a square edge spacer frame. Only round edge. MK do a 20mm but ofc it's round edge.

Does it need to be exactly 20mm or could you butcher a 16mm/25mm standard PVC patress and just remove all of the back and the brass lugs?

Could you elaborate on this a bit more, only it appears to be bolllocks.

Sounds sensible to be tbh, the only objection I can see is those boxes tend to be quite brittle so cutting a 20mm chunk off the front successfully might be a challenge.

Look up antiference wall spacer.

I think that may help, perhaps you can double them up.

Thanks, guys!

Igg, Yeah, at a pinch I could jig the back off a PVC box, but my jig is no more and I'm not relishing doing it with hand tools!

SW: Will look at Antiference, cheers.

According to some reviews, the Antiference spacer is grey, which will look a bit daft.

How about a Knightsbridge wall spacer?

I can only find the 2 gang on their website, one square cornered, one round.
But I can't see a 1G spacer.

Just tell everyone where he can get square corner accessories.

Is this the sort of thing your looking for but 20mm? (could you use 2 of these?)

Just tell everyone where he can get square corner accessories.

Square corner accessories can currently be obtained from Deta-Vimark, Volex, Marbo and no doubt others I can't think of, YTLP.
