Anchor Roma 16M PVC Surface Box

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Module size: 16 Modules (16 M) width — suitable for installations requiring sixteen standard modular mechanisms side-by-side. Material: High-impact, fire-retardant PVC / plastic body. One listing: “Material: High-impact PVC”. Finish: Typically white colour in listings. Example: “Color: White”. Dimensions (approx): For example one listing shows for 16M box – Height × Width × Depth ~ 15.3 cm × 25.9 cm × 5.0 cm. Series compatibility: Designed to house modular mechanisms (switches, sockets etc) of the Anchor Roma series — ensures alignment with the plate + mechanism system. Mounting type: Surface-mount (i.e., box sits on the wall surface rather than fully recessed) — suitable for surface wiring or where concealed back-box depth is limited. Application: Suitable for residential, commercial, and hospitality installations where a wide gang of switches/sockets/data modules is needed. --- Typical Use & Considerations Ideal when you have a wall switchboard location requiring sixteen modules in one row, and you prefer a single unified surface-mounted enclosure rather than multiple boxes or segments. Especially useful for retrofit or surface-mounted installations (e.g., where flush back-box cannot be embedded or the wiring is surface routed) — the shallow depth (~5 cm) is helpful in such conditions. If you are using the Anchor Roma modular accessory ecosystem (switches, sockets, plates) then this 16M surface box will allow you to maintain visual and functional consistency across board and finish. In environments like Chennai / Tamil Nadu (coastal/humid areas), a quality PVC surface box helps durable performance — but correct installation (firm mounting, level alignment, proper wiring and sealing) is essential for long-term reliability. --- Things to Verify / Before Purchase & Installation Confirm you really need a 16-module width (16 M) box — if your installation has fewer modules (8M, 12M) or more (18M), pick the matching size accordingly. Confirm the depth of the box is enough for your wiring and mechanisms behind the plate; the listed depth is ~5.0 cm in one spec — if your wiring is bulky or screw terminals require more space, verify clearance. Check that your mechanisms and face plates (switches, sockets, plates) are of the same Anchor Roma series so they fit perfectly in the box + plate system — mixing brands/variants may cause alignment or finish issues. Verify the finish/colour of the box (white shown) and that it matches or complements your covering plates and surrounding décor. Ensure the mounting surface is suitable for a large surface box — because the width is large, ensure the wall surface is stable, box is level, screw mountings are secure, there’s no warping. Purchase from an authorised distributor/reseller of Anchor to ensure genuine product with correct material, correct part number (34567 or 34568 for 16M PVC version) and warranty support. If the location is exposed or subject to dust/humidity (external wall, corridor, utility area), take care of wiring ingress, sealing gaps, and ensure the box is properly anchored to handle environment.
