Surface boxes, also known as surface-mounted back boxes or surface-mount enclosures, are electrical enclosures designed to house electrical outlets, switches, and other devices on the surface of walls, ceilings, or other flat surfaces. These boxes provide a convenient and secure means of mounting electrical components without the need to recess them into the wall. In the context of electrical installations regulated by BS 7671 (the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations) in the UK, here are key considerations regarding surface boxes:
1. Purpose of Surface Boxes:
2. Material and Construction:
3. Size and Configuration:
4. Knockouts and Cable Entries:
5. Mounting Options:
6. Depth of Box:
7. Accessibility:
8. Compliance with Standards:
9. Labeling and Identification: – Enclosures may require labeling or marking to identify circuits, devices, or equipment within the enclosure.
Surface boxes are commonly used in a variety of electrical installations, including residential, commercial, and industrial applications. They offer flexibility and ease of installation, especially when it is not practical to recess electrical components into the wall. Proper installation and the use of appropriate boxes ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of electrical systems. Electricians and technicians should follow the guidelines and regulations set forth in BS 7671 and other relevant standards when working with surface boxes.
