Recessed distribution box ELEKTROPLAST 0204 PO-70F (model 0204-00) is designed for installation in drywall (gypsum board) partitions to house electrical junctions, switches or sockets. The box is made to allow safe routing and connection of cables within a cavity wall, and its bright orange color improves visibility during installation and later maintenance. Its form factor is adapted for standard mounting methods used in drywall construction.

Advantages

The ELEKTROPLAST PO-70F recessed distribution box offers a compact design optimised for drywall installation, providing secure containment for cable connections. Its material and construction provide electrical isolation and mechanical protection for conductors and terminations. The orange finish makes locating and identifying installation points easier during both fitting and future servicing.

Suitable for

• Installation in gypsum board (drywall) partitions for residential and light commercial interiors
• Mounting single or multiple switches and sockets where recessing is required
• Creating junction points for concealed wiring and cable routing inside walls
• Temporary identification of installation locations during construction because of the orange colour

When it may not be suitable

This recessed box is intended specifically for use in gypsum board or similar cavity walls; it may not be suitable for solid masonry, concrete, or metal stud installations without appropriate adaptors or additional fixing methods. It is not a weatherproof or outdoor-rated enclosure and should not be used in wet locations or exposed external environments without proper protective measures.

Key specifications

• Mounting type: recessed, for installation in drywall/gypsum board
• Application: electrical junctions, switches and socket mounting
• Material properties: non-conductive plastic construction providing electrical isolation and mechanical protection
• Colour: orange for improved visibility
• Shape and size: compact form factor suited to standard drywall cut-outs (designed for standard switch/socket configurations)

How to use

Cut an opening in the gypsum board sized to the box dimensions, taking care to follow local installation rules and maintain structural integrity. Insert the box into the cavity and secure it according to the mounting features provided, ensuring the front edge is flush with the finished wall surface. Route cables into the box through the designated knockouts or entry points, make the required terminations or connections using approved connectors and methods, and fit the switch or socket module in accordance with the device manufacturer’s instructions. After wiring is complete, fit the cover plate or device front and verify the installation for mechanical stability and proper electrical function.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with the wall type and thickness where the box will be installed (designed for drywall/gypsum board)
• Ensure the box dimensions and knockout positions match the switches/sockets or junction components you plan to use
• Verify that the product meets any local electrical installation regulations and safety standards applicable to your project
• Consider whether additional accessories or mounting adaptors are required for non-standard studs or wall constructions

Usage recommendations

Follow applicable electrical codes and use qualified personnel for electrical connections. Use the orange colour as a visual aid during installation and mark circuits appropriately. Do not use the box in damp or outdoor locations unless additional protective measures are applied.
