What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your drywall to ensure compatibility with the mounting clamps
• Check the required depth of the wall cavity to accommodate the 40mm profile
• Ensure the box dimensions match your specific wiring and component housing needs

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before performing any electrical work. Use appropriate tools for cutting drywall to achieve a precise fit, and ensure that all cable entries are properly sealed or managed to maintain the integrity of the electrical installation.
