◎ The following table evaluates the suitability of each model for various installation tasks and use cases.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Deep box for voluminous wire bundles in standard walls | Vilma PTD60 | The 6.2 cm depth combined with a 7x7 cm square shape provides more room for cables inside the wall. |
| Installation in conditions with limited wall depth | VILMA PTD40 | The reduced depth of 4.7 cm fits well into thin partitions. |
| Increased width with shallow depth | Vilma PTD40S | The 7.5 cm width combined with a 4.7 cm depth provides more horizontal interior space. |
| Deep box with increased width | Vilma PTD60S | Combines an increased width of 7.5 cm and a large depth of 6.2 cm for complex connections. |
| Requirement for enhanced IP30 protection and shallow depth | Vilma GKD40S | Yellow housing with IP30 protection and a depth of 4.2 cm. |
| Enhanced IP30 protection with maximum internal volume | Vilma GKD60S | Combines IP30 protection, yellow color, and maximum depth of 6.2 cm for bulky wiring setups. |
The Vilma PTD60 mounting box differs from alternatives by combining an increased depth of 6.2 cm and a standard 7x7 cm square shape in a classic black design with IP20 protection. It is most suitable for standard drywall walls where it is necessary to accommodate a larger number of wires and connection elements inside the housing. A buyer should prefer Vilma PTD60 over alternatives if mounting depth is critical while maintaining a standard opening width, whereas other models are better suited when wall depth is restricted or when a higher IP30 protection rating is required (GKD series).
