A wall box, also known as a wall mount enclosure, wall mount storage box, or wall mount electrical box, is a secure enclosure that is mounted onto a wall. These enclosures feature a door or lid for easy access and are available in lockable versions for added security.
Wall mount enclosures can be made from materials like metal, plastic, and fibreglass, providing options for different levels of durability and application requirements. With a wide range of IP ratings, wall boxes are suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, capable of withstanding high impacts and harsh environmental conditions.
Wall boxes are typically designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment from dust, moisture, and physical damage. They are available in various sizes, including different heights, widths, and depths, to accommodate different storage needs. Common sizes range from small storage containers for individual components to large enclosures for complex systems.
Wall Mounted accessories available include:
Wall boxes are frequently used to secure access to delicate or potentially dangerous electrical systems such as fuse boxes or power inlets. High IP-rated wall boxes, like IP65 or IP67 are commonly used to keep electrical systems protected from environmental factors such as moisture or dust. These enclosures often come with suitable locks for added security, ensuring both safety and functionality in indoor or outdoor environments where electrical hazards need to be contained.
General purpose wall boxes provide secure, indoor or outdoor storage for important or potentially hazardous items. Used with or without a lock, they can be used for storing tools, equipment and any other valuable items in industrial settings such as workshops or storage facilities.
IP67 wall-mounted enclosures are specifically designed for use in marine environments and other hose-down applications. These storage containers offer robust protection against water ingress and are often made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or thermoplastic. The seals on the base and lid or door ensure that the contents remain dry and secure, even in harsh marine conditions. For example, these wall mount enclosures can be used on ships to protect critical navigation and communication equipment from saltwater exposure and heavy seas, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.
Wall-mounted enclosures with transparent doors allow users to view the contents within the storage box without having to open it. This is particularly useful in settings where quick visual inspections are necessary. For example, in a server room, transparent door wall boxes enable IT personnel to quickly check the status of networking equipment and cable connections without needing to unlock and open each enclosure, thus saving time and reducing the risk of disturbing the setup.
