Anchor Roma 12M PVC Surface Box

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Module size: 12 Modules (12 M) width — to accommodate twelve standard modular mechanisms (switches, sockets, data outlets) side-by-side. Part number / model: 20347 for the 12M PVC surface box variant. Material & build: Made of high-impact PVC (plastic) housing suitable for surface mount application. For example: “Material: High-impact PVC” listed. Dimensions: Approximately Height ~ 15.3 cm, Width ~ 21.4 cm, Depth ~ 5.0 cm. Finish / application: White colour standard, surface mounting (rather than flush mounting). Example: white finish listing. Compatibility: Designed to work with the Anchor Roma modular accessory system (switches, sockets, plates) to provide a unified solution for surface mounting. Usage application: Suitable in settings where you prefer surface-mounted installation (rather than concealed wiring) and need a larger module width (12 modules) in one housing. --- Typical Use & Considerations Ideal when you have a switchboard location that requires twelve adjacent modules (for example: a row of multiple switches + sockets + network/data outlets) and you prefer a single surface-mounted box rather than multiple smaller ones. Useful in surface wiring scenarios: walls where concealed wiring is not feasible, retrofits, or where the back‐box depth is shallow and you want the box mounted on the surface. If you’re already using the Anchor Roma modular system, this box will integrate well with the mechanisms and cover plates of the same series — giving you a neat, coordinated finish. In a humid/coastal climate (like Chennai / Tamil Nadu), using a good-quality PVC surface box helps durability and finish, but as always, proper mounting (secure, sealed, aligned) still matters. --- Things to Verify / Before Purchase & Installation Confirm you truly need 12-module width (12M) — if your layout has fewer (e.g., 8M) or more (e.g., 16M) modules you should pick the correct size to avoid mismatches. Verify the box depth (~5.0 cm in listed spec) is enough for your wiring run, mechanisms, and terminals behind the box. If wiring is bulkier or you need more clearance you may need a deeper box. Ensure your mechanisms and cover plates (switches, sockets, regulators) are of the Anchor Roma series so that they fit into the box + plate cleanly — mixing brands/series may cause mis-fit. Mounting surface: Since this is surface mounted, ensure the wall is stable, screws are secured, box is levelled and wiring is neat — poor mounting can lead to aesthetic and functional issues. Finish/colour: While many listings are white, verify your finish choice (colour, texture) matches your decor and other accessories. Buy from a genuine authorised distributor to ensure you get the correct part (20347) and authentic build quality — fake or lower quality surface boxes may fail alignment or durability. If the location is exposed to dust, moisture or public use (commercial/hospitality), ensure the wiring behind is properly sealed and the installation robust — the box gives the housing, but installation quality still matters for long term reliability.
