    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    Yes we ordered boxes from the UK and cannot get shallower ones here quickly enough. Am remaking the brackets and posts at the moment. :(

    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    Yes electrical boxes most often installed in MDF. These particular ones are in nice anodized posts that sit exposed and not covered with anything between two MDF clad wall partitions every 4 feet. Nothing combustible for several inches either direction. The ones you just pointed to with sprung...

    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    Yeah if I could get 35mm deep boxes with a 10-13mm thick adjustable spacer they mount on which mounts on my existing bracket that would be great. My bracket is supposed to be 48mm back inside the post but is only 46mm back and that is why the electrical boxes sit too far out. I will have to...

    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    I have used a single switch box. It will have a single switch in it. It is 73mm square and 48mm deep. It inserts into a hole milled in the finished face of a square aluminium extruded post approx. 4" square and 8 feet tall. The cut out is 79mm square and the LogicPlus faceplate is 86mm square...

Worried that the box lip not being flush with the face of the post will prevent the integral switch and faceplate unit from sitting flush against the post face. The hollowed out back of...

    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    I am somewhat surprised. North American faceplates could likely take up this slop. But they are of thinner less substantial construction and hollowed out more on the back side designed to cover the sins of sloppy fast nailing of boxes to wooden wall studs. :)

    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    Thanks. I will keep these in mind. These mount directly into plasterboard without needing to be nailed into a stud? We call those Retrofit or 'Old Work' boxes here I think. The wall thickness of my posts is only about 1/16" of aluminum. These have a 5mm minimum wall thickness requirement...

    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    Thnx for your help guys. I work for a company that makes modular walls in Canada. We have a job in Singapore that is shipping out today and I fear I have messed up a bracket design for mounting the electrical boxes. Well I sort of know I did. Just not sure if I have to send out new parts to...

    MKElectric LogicPLus box installation

    Hi. I know electrical boxes should be installed flush to the drywall but attaching them to wall studs is not always an exact art. How much can the electrical box protrude from being flush with the drywall and have the LogicPlus faceplates hide this error? The backs are hollowed out as with any...
