MK K897ALM Grid Plus 6 & 9 Gang Flush Metal Mounting Box – 40mm Deep

Description Support your centralized control systems with the MK K897ALM Flush Metal Box. Engineered specifically for the Grid Plus range, this box is the essential “first-fix” component for installations that require a large bank of switches to be mounted seamlessly into the wall structure of commercial or high-end residential projects. Large Capacity & Structural Integrity: 6 & 9 Gang Compatibility: This landscape-oriented box is the standard housing for 6-module and 9-module Grid Plus frontplates. It typically accommodates either two or three 3-module (K3703) mounting frames side-by-side. 40mm Extra Depth: The 40mm internal depth is critical for multi-gang banks, providing the necessary volume to manage multiple incoming cables, terminal loops, and deep modules (like dimmers) without damaging the conductors. Strategic Knockouts: Features a generous selection of 20mm and 25mm knockouts on the top, bottom, and sides. This allows for massive cable entry flexibility, which is vital when wiring up to 9 independent circuits. Galvanized Steel Construction: Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanized steel for superior corrosion resistance and long-term structural durability within the wall cavity. Installer-Friendly Features: Adjustable Lugs: Includes adjustable mounting lugs to allow for fine-tuning and leveling of the grid frame, ensuring the final frontplate is perfectly straight even if the box is slightly misaligned during the rough-in stage. Standard-Compliant: Manufactured to BS 4662, ensuring it meets all UK building and electrical safety regulations.
