Surface-mounted electrical box Legrand Niloe Step 863197 single, white

Surface-mounted electrical box Legrand Niloe Step 863197 single, white is a single-gang enclosure designed to house a switch or socket on a finished wall where recessed mounting is not possible. Manufactured by Legrand, this white surface-mounted box provides a neat, visible installation point for electrical devices and protects internal wiring and connections from accidental contact and dust.

Advantages

The box is ready for surface installation, eliminating the need to cut into walls or create cavities. Its single-gang format accommodates most standard switches and sockets, and the white finish integrates with common interior colors. The robust plastic construction offers electrical insulation and resistance to everyday impacts, while pre-formed cable entries and fixing points speed up installation and ensure secure mounting.

Suitable for

• Adding switches or sockets on solid walls where flush mounting is not feasible
• Temporary or retrofit installations in residential apartments
• Light commercial spaces, utility rooms, and workshops requiring surface-mounted outlets

Key specifications

• Format: single-gang surface-mounted box
• Color: white
• Material: durable insulating thermoplastic
• Compatible with standard European switch and socket modules
• Pre-formed cable entry points and mounting holes for screws
• Smooth external finish for easy cleaning and painting if required

How to use

Position the box on the wall at the desired height and mark the fixing points. Route incoming cables through the provided entry points, secure the box to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate, and make the electrical connections to the selected switch or socket module following applicable wiring standards. After connecting, attach the device to the box and fix the front plate to complete the installation. Ensure power is switched off at the source before beginning work and verify connections with proper testing tools before restoring power.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate wall plugs and corrosion-resistant screws for the mounting surface, and follow local electrical codes. For installations in damp or outdoor-exposed locations, select a box with the required ingress protection rating or additional sealing. If unsure about wiring or compliance, consult a qualified electrician.
