In the execution of building electrical installations, the use of standard and high-quality equipment plays an important role in their safety and durability. One of the widely used components in this field is the MK switch box, which is used as a mounting location for switches and sockets as well as for protecting electrical connections. Suitable design, high strength, and compatibility with various types of switches and sockets have made this type of switch box the best recommendation for buyers in the electrical switch box buying guide. Buyers can also choose any of the double and triple switch box types according to their needs and install them in various projects.
The round single-gang switch box is designed in such a way that its sides are completely identical to each other, so you have a square-shaped metal enclosure at your disposal. The most common size available for these parts is the 7×7 switch box. These dimensions are in centimeters. In addition, you can also have different sizings of this product. For these structural dimensions, a height or depth of five centimeters is usually considered. Naturally, at this depth, you will have sufficient volume for making internal connections.
Of course, the sizings of the single-gang switch box have a high variety. Given their identical sides, they are usually designed and manufactured in sizes of 7.5×7.5 centimeters as well. In the body of the single-gang boxes, on all four faces plus the base area, there are several holes or cavities. Each face has two holes, which can be identical or different from each other in terms of size. Usually, on two opposite sides, there are two holes of size PG13.5 or M20, and on the other two opposite sides, there are two holes of size PG16.
Also, three holes of size PG13.5 are provided in the base area of the switch box. This type of design is according to defined standards, but if for any reason and due to the limitations of your project you cannot use these parts, you can request custom types of the MK switch box from manufacturing companies.
The MK double switch box has a rectangular structure. This enclosure is completely one-piece, and the term “double” for switch boxes does not mean they are separate from each other; rather, only their dimensions have increased in terms of length. The most common size of the MK switch box is 132×72 millimeters. At these structural dimensions, the standard height considered for these boxes is usually 35 millimeters and 47 millimeters.
Again, there is the possibility of customizing these parts in terms of size, and you should not have any concerns regarding your project. The number of holes in the MK double box on the small side is two, and on the large side, it is four. Their sizes are PG13.5 and PG16.
On the large side, two holes are of size PG13.5, and two holes are of size PG16. In the base of the switch box, four smaller holes of size PG13.5 are provided. Based on the customer’s request, it is possible to change the size and also change the position of these holes in the body of the boxes.
The MK triple switch box has three compartments alongside each other, and as mentioned in the previous section, these boxes are completely one-piece. One example of the sizing of this type of switch box is dimensions of 248x72x35 millimeters. The third variable, which is 35 millimeters, indicates the depth or height of the switch box.
The use of triple types is employed in many relatively complex projects. The suitable depth of these metal enclosures prevents interference in the connections and wire strands.
For this reason, with maximum organization and proper management, you can make the electrical wire connections inside the enclosure of these boxes and ultimately use your smart sockets and switches with the highest level of safety and quality. Whether you use single-gang, double, or triple types depends on the project type and the final objective. Therefore, executive technicians can introduce the suitable type to you.
Given the diverse sizings of the MK switch box, you can choose each of their dimensions according to the project’s needs.
Their metal body is made from the most resistant alloys, so they have good resistance to impact and force application.
MK switch boxes are designed and manufactured as pre-galvanized, so they are resistant to rust, corrosion, and discoloration processes.
By using these switch boxes, you can have completely stable and safe connections.
Their completely closed enclosure provides conditions for the connection point to be protected from environmental factors, dust ingress, and moisture.
Due to being domestically manufactured, these products have an affordable and reasonable price.
