KAISER

KAISER at Latrand offers mounting boxes and installation components for different building substrates. The most useful first choice is wall or structure material. An identical face opening diameter does not make two boxes interchangeable when intended for different mounting types.

Search by building substrate

The sections for installation in concrete, plasterboard and wood lead to different product groups. For solid masonry substrates, there is also installation in brick walls. Select the box by purpose, required depth and matching accessories. The shape of the visible switch or socket is a subsequent criterion, not sufficient grounds for choosing the mounting box.

External insulation requires a separate decision

In installation in external insulation , the exact ECON Styro55 1555-51 illustrates why the application must be specific. It is intended for retrofit installation in already rendered external thermal insulation systems with EPS/XPS or comparable insulation with a density from 15 kg/m³. For thickness, use the conservative limit above 80 mm and follow the specific product documentation. This intended use does not automatically cover wood-fibre insulation boards or any façade substrate.

For 1555-51, depth 60 mm and cut-out diameter 68 mm are specified. Screw centre spacing is 60 mm and combination centre spacing is 71 mm. These are different dimensions with different roles. When comparing boxes, keep each as a separate item instead of reducing the choice to the Ø68 designation alone.

The box and finished product are different things

The same model has two cable entries for diameters up to 15 mm, halogen-free material and a IP30. designation. The data relate to 1555-51. They do not determine the protection of an entire assembled outdoor socket or prove fire resistance, airtightness or thermal performance of the whole facade.

The range also includes elements for concrete, conduits and waterproofing membranes, plus separate HWD and mounting accessories. Choose them as parts of a specific solution without transferring ECON Styro55 characteristics to other series. Before ordering, match the box code, substrate, dimensions and required additional elements; the corresponding application matters more than visual similarity.
