35mm 1G flush backbox with some 25mm knockouts

[Rich J]

Hi.

I'm looking for a few 35mm 1G metal backboxes that have some 25mm knockouts on them.

I've had them in the past (Rexton brand ones) from Tradesparky I think, but Tradesparky can no longer source them. None of the sites for boxes specify the sizes of knockouts so it's difficult to tell.

I know I could drill a standard box, but wondered if anyone knows of somewhere I can find ones off the shelf?

Thanks

47mm boxes have some

Check the orange shed for them.
No doubt packaged individually, with a price tag 10 times what you pay at a trade counter, but at least you can see them on the shelf.

Agree with Doc - I've only seen deep boxes with the 25mm ko, sorry.

Deta uk from electric centre

As above DETA 35mm 1G's have 3x 25mm KOs on them from memory.

As above electric centre stock them.

I suppose the obvious question is why do you need 25mm knockouts

 

[Rich J]

Woohoo. Thanks to everyone but especially the answers re Deta.

Googling them brings up the Deta catalogue where it says....
35mm and 47mm deep boxes have 20mm and 25mm knockouts.

Cheers

handy when you have a 2 or 3 gang switch that’s fed and also 2-way.

I do sometimes but pretty much fit 35mm as standard, 47mm for tv stuff and 25mm on cheapy white plastic rewires.

Long (boring) story...

Earlier I went to Electric Center in Huddersfield to get some Deta boxes but was told they now stock only Scolmore/Click.

So I rang the Bradford branch and was told again that Electric Center no longer stock Deta boxes. However the helpful bloke said they're a member of the Edmundson Electrical group and checked the computer for them having stock - one of EE independents in Leeds was showing having 700 of the 1G 35mm Detas.

So I called the place in Leeds who said even though their computer showed the Deta part number, when they checked the actual boxes… low and behold, they're not Deta but Rexton, the ones I was after all along.

I bought a box of 10 to celebrate!

We use them all the time (35mm deep 25mm k.o.) get from Edmundson's MSB135 and Electric Centre.
