Anchor Roma 6M Metal Box

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Designed for 6 modules (6 M) width — suitable for mounting six adjacent modular mechanisms (switches/sockets/regulators) side by side. Material: GI (galvanised iron) sheet metal — offering durability and strength for concealed / flush mounting. Dimensions (typical): For example listed as 79 mm (height) × 207 mm (width) × 52 mm (depth) for the 6 M size in one spec list. Rust‑protected / corrosion resistance: The material is described as “Rust Protected 120 GSM GI Boxes” in one listing, which indicates good corrosion resistance for humid environments. Compatible with Anchor Roma series: Intended to house Anchor Roma modular mechanisms and plates, ensuring alignment and correct fit. Use type: Concealed (flush) mounting box — designed to be embedded or fixed within a wall or panel before the visible plate and mechanisms are fitted. --- Typical Use & Considerations Ideal when you have a switchboard location that needs six modules side‑by‑side (for example: six switches, or a mixture of sockets + switches + data modules) and you want a robust flush‑mounted metal enclosure behind the wall finish. In a setting like Chennai / Tamil Nadu (coastal/humid), the galvanised metal body is beneficial because of its rust protection and structural rigidity, which helps maintain alignment and longevity of the installation. Using a 6‑module metal box gives you a clean, unified gang board rather than several smaller boxes, which helps in aesthetics and reduces mis‑alignment across plates. Since the depth is ~52 mm in one spec, ensure your wall or back‑box / conduit layout supports that depth so that after installation the front plate sits flush and mechanisms are not overly recessed or protruding. --- Things to Verify / Before Purchase & Installation Confirm that your need is indeed for a 6‑module width (6 M). If your layout has fewer modules (e.g., 4 M) or more (8 M, 12 M) you should choose the corresponding size. Confirm the part/model number for the 6M metal box (some listings show model 21463 for 6‑module 6M box for example). Check the exact internal dimensions (width, height, depth) to ensure your wiring, mechanisms, and plate will fit without crowding. Depth especially matters if the mechanism has thick terminals or cables. Ensure your mechanisms and front plate are from the same series (Anchor Roma) so that the box, mechanism, and plate align properly — mixing different brands or systems may cause mis‑fit. Ensure the metal box is properly embedded or fixed, levelled in the wall or panel. Even a high‑quality box won’t compensate for poor mounting or misalignment. Check material finish and rust protection: Although galvanised, ensure the box you get has proper finish, secure earthing terminal (if applicable) and correct threads for mounting. Purchase from an authorised distributor to ensure you get a genuine Anchor Roma metal box with correct material spec and build quality — not a lower‑grade imitation. After installation, the visible part is the mechanisms + plate — but the box behind significantly affects stability, alignment, and ease of future maintenance.
