Surface-mounted electrical box Legrand Niloe Step 863598 double, black

Surface-mounted electrical box Legrand Niloe Step 863598 double, black is a two-module enclosure designed for mounting switches or sockets on surfaces where in-wall installation is not possible. The box provides a rigid, visible mounting point for two devices and is suitable for surface wiring and retrofit projects in residential and light commercial interiors. Its black finish matches contemporary decor and the Niloe Step family of fittings to ensure consistent appearance when used with compatible covers and modules.

Advantages

The surface-mounted format simplifies installation on concrete, brick or plasterboard walls without recessed cavities. A double-module layout accommodates two switches, two sockets or a combination of control devices in a single compact unit. Durable construction resists deformation and maintains alignment of mounted devices, while the finished surface reduces the need for additional trim. The neutral black colour offers discreet integration with darker interiors and coordinates with other Niloe Step components.

Suitable for

• Surface wiring installations where wall recesses are unavailable
• Retrofit projects to add new switches or outlets without cutting into walls
• Residential rooms, corridors and utility areas
• Light commercial interiors such as offices and retail fit-outs

How to use

Position the enclosure on the chosen surface and mark fixing points. Secure the box using appropriate screws and wall plugs for the substrate, making sure it sits flush and level. Route supply and device wiring into the box through the provided entry points, observing local electrical regulations and turning off power before work. Mount the selected Niloe Step modules and cover plate onto the enclosure, and connect conductors to the device terminals according to manufacturer instructions. Restore power and verify correct operation of installed switches or sockets.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cable glands or conduit entries for mechanical protection of incoming cables and follow national wiring rules for device mounting and earthing. Select fixings suitable for the wall material to ensure a stable installation and use compatible Niloe Step fittings to maintain proper fit and aesthetic alignment.
