Wall Switch Box

Wall Switch Box

The wall switch box is a plastic component designed for installation inside walls to house electrical switches and outlets. It serves as a housing for wiring and connections, ensuring that switches and outlets are securely and safely attached to the wall. The box prevents dust entry and protects the electrical wiring.

Application of Wall Switch Box in Industrial Housing Construction

Modern mass production systems, particularly industrialized house construction, have gained significant attention due to their benefits, such as earthquake resistance. One prominent technology in industrialized housing is the use of large panel molds or tunnel form construction methods. In this system, the plans for all units and floors are typically identical, allowing the same mold to be used for constructing multiple floors or even future projects. In tunnel form construction, both the ceiling and walls are cast as a single unit, and doors and windows are integrated into the formwork system.

Before the concrete pour, provisions must be made for electrical wiring and outlets. To address this, wall switch boxes are designed and placed within the reinforcement framework. Once the concrete pour and form removal are completed, the cover of the switch box is removed, allowing electrical switches and outlets to be easily installed. Additionally, electrical conduits leading to the switch box are installed within the structure.

How to Use the Plastic Wall Switch Box for Electrical Installations

1. Begin with the reinforcement of the concrete structure, followed by fixing one side of the wall forms in place.
2. According to the electrical layout, place the electrical conduits and position the switch boxes at the designated locations for switches and outlets.
3. Ensure that the conduits are connected to the switch boxes to allow for proper routing of electrical wires once the project is complete.
4. The switch box has a cover to prevent concrete and slurry from entering during the pouring process. After the concrete has set and the forms are removed, the cover is removed, and the switches and outlets can be installed.

Consumption of Wall Switch Boxes

The number of wall switch boxes required is determined based on the electrical plan and the number of switches and outlets needed for electrical wiring and telephone connections.

Important Notes about Plastic Wall Switch Boxes

• Not using the switch box before the concrete pour may result in significant costs for cutting the installation areas for switches and outlets.
• Always ensure the cover is placed on the switch box during installation to prevent the entry of concrete and slurry. Failure to do so can cause difficulties in cleaning and fitting the switches and outlets once the concrete hardens.
• Cut the part of the switch box where the electrical conduit enters using a saw or a hole cutter of the appropriate size and insert the conduit into the box.
