SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC 1-V SURFACE BOX 21MM WHITE

When installing switches or sockets on solid walls where flush mounting isn't practical, a reliable surface box is essential. The Schneider Electric WDE002751 provides a clean, secure housing for standard 1-gang wiring accessories, eliminating the need for chasing into masonry. Its 21mm depth accommodates typical wiring while keeping the profile neat.

Who is it for
