Besides the depth, is there any other difference between the size of a 47mm and 35mm 2 gang dry lining box?

Lug design, but they all do the same thing really.

I'm not sure that "dry lining boxes" actually have "knockouts", as such, do they?

In relation to a 47 mm metal box, I think what you say may well be right.

I have to admit that I missed the dry lining bit. I never have nor will use one of those so I don't really know. The pictures seem to show a single knockout in the back but that's not going to be constrained by the depth.

Yes, they do. Circular ones in the rear and rectangular ones top and bottom.

The deep metal boxes have a mixture of 20 and 25mm knockouts.

I must confessed that I hadn't noticed, or had forgotten the round ones at the back (I certainly don't recall ever using them, and, given the situations they are used in, doubt whether I would ever want to, or necessarily 'be able to'!).

I'm aware of the rectangular ones but assumed (given the way you described it, with just a 'diameter') that you were talking only about round ones.

Kind Regards, John

 

[securespark]

Can't remember mentioning diameter?

You didn't, but i doubt that you have a way of adequately describing a rectangle with only one dimension, and we all know what shape 20mm and 25mm knockouts are (and what measurement is used to describe them - clue .... it's not the circumference ).

Kind Regards, John
