Surface-mounted ViPlast VP-2 empty junction box with external dimensions 85×85×35 mm provides a compact enclosure for electrical connections. The box is rated IP44, offering protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water, and features four knockouts for flexible cable entry. Designed for mounting switches, sockets or splices on walls, this brown plastic enclosure is suitable for indoor environments and sheltered outdoor locations where a small, protected junction box is required.

Advantages

The ViPlast VP-2 is designed for simple and reliable surface installation, combining a compact footprint with IP44 ingress protection. Four preformed knockouts allow straightforward routing of cables from multiple directions without additional drilling. The molded plastic construction is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and provides electrical isolation for internal terminals and connections. The product’s shallow depth makes it suitable for installations where limited wall space or shallow mounting clearances are present.

Suitable for

• Mounting single or dual switches on walls
• Installing sockets or receptacles in surface-mounted applications
• Protecting wire splices and terminal connections in indoor areas
• Use in sheltered outdoor locations such as covered balconies or porches

How to use

Prepare the mounting surface ensuring it is flat and suitable for screws or adhesive fixing. Open the box and route cables through the selected knockouts, removing knockout plugs as needed. Secure the box to the wall using appropriate fixings for the substrate, taking care to maintain IP44 sealing where the backplate meets the surface. Make electrical connections inside the enclosure using suitable terminal blocks or connectors, then replace the cover and fasten it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify that cable entries and the cover are properly seated to maintain ingress protection.

Usage recommendations

Use the ViPlast VP-2 indoors or in sheltered outdoor locations only; avoid direct exposure to heavy rain. Select appropriate cable glands or grommets for improved sealing if routed cables require additional protection. Ensure all electrical work complies with local regulations and is performed by a qualified person.
