Anchor Roma 4M PVC Surface Box

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Module size: 4 Modules (4 M) width — designed to house four adjacent modular mechanisms (switches, sockets, data outlets) side‑by‑side. Part number: 21292 for the 4M PVC surface box variant. Material & build: Made of high‑impact PVC (or flame‑retardant PVC) body for robust surface mounting. Surface mount design: installable on the wall surface (rather than fully recessed) – useful for applications where concealed wiring isn’t feasible. Dimensions (as listed for 4M variant): height ≈ 85 mm, width ≈ 145 mm, depth ≈ 50 mm. Colour / finish: Typically white (or ivory) for standard retail versions. Compatibility: Designed to work with the Anchor Roma modular mechanisms and covering plates – the surface box is the housing into which you mount mechanisms + cover plates. Application: Suited for installations in homes, offices, retail, or any surface‑wiring scenario where you need a clean modular board of 4 modules. --- Typical Use & Considerations Use this when you need a switchboard or wall panel with 4 adjacent modules (for example: two switches + socket + data plate) and the box has to be surface mounted (not flush). It’s particularly useful in retro‑fit situations or in constructions where concealed wiring boxes are not available or not desired: e.g., external walls, service rooms, or when you want to mount the board on the surface for aesthetic or practical reasons. Since it’s part of the Anchor Roma system, if you are already using Anchor Roma switches/sockets/plates (Tresa series) then this box will integrate neatly—mechanisms will align and fit properly. In a climate like Chennai / Tamil Nadu (humid/coastal), the material (PVC) is good for surface mounting where moisture or wall depth might be challenging. However, ensure proper mounting and sealing to avoid dust or moisture ingress behind the box. --- Things to Verify / Before Purchase & Installation Confirm the module width (4M) is correct for your location — if your board only has 2 or 3 modules or needs more than 4, pick the correct size accordingly. Ensure your mechanisms and covering plates (switches, sockets, data outlets) are compatible with the Anchor Roma system so that they fit into the box + plate properly. Verify the depth of the box is enough for your wiring, terminals, and mechanism behind it. Although the listed depth is ~50 mm, ensure your wiring doesn’t squeeze or cause protrusion. Check that the finish/colour matches your other accessories: white or ivory if matching standard but if you have coloured plates you may want matching boxes. Purchase from a reputable distributor to ensure genuine product, correct material (fire‑retardant PVC), and correct part number (21292) to avoid compatibility or quality issues. Even though it's a surface box, ensure the mounting surface is stable and level, screws are tight, and wiring is safe. Poor mounting behind will affect the alignment of the cover plate and final look. Summary The Anchor Roma Tresa 4M PVC Surface Box is a well‑specified housing for a 4‑module width switchboard in surface mounted installations. With a robust PVC construction, compatibility with the Anchor Roma modular system, and suitable size for moderate sized boards, it’s a good choice for clean, practical surface‑mounted wiring setups.
