2 Gang 45° Angled Surface Mount Pattress Back Box – Wall/Workbench Electrical Box

Introducing the Evoges EVODM2GPBW 2 Gang 45° Angled Surface Mount Pattress Back Box – Wall/Workbench Electrical Box available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price.

The 2 Gang 45° Angled Surface Mount Pattress Back Box is a practical electrical mounting accessory designed to house two standard wiring devices — such as switches, sockets, dimmers, or control plates — on surfaces where traditional recessed back boxes are impractical. Its distinctive 45° angled face brings the installed controls toward the user for easier access and operation, especially useful on work benches, garage walls, utility rooms, stairway walls, and workshop surfaces.

Being a surface-mount (pattress) back box, it installs externally on flat surfaces without the need for wall chasing or cutting, making it an excellent solution for retrofit projects or where solid walls make flush mounting difficult. The white thermoplastic finish delivers a neat, professional look and is compatible with standard UK faceplates, providing flexibility for electrical installations in both domestic and commercial environments.

Who Can Install It

This 2-gang surface-mount pattress back box can be installed by a qualified electrician or competent DIYer comfortable with basic electrical wiring. The box is fixed to the surface using screws, cables are routed through the built-in knock-outs, and standard wiring accessories are mounted and connected inside. Always ensure the electrical supply is isolated before starting any wiring work and that final connections comply with UK wiring regulations.

Installation Tip

Before final fixing, check that the angled face aligns comfortably with user reach (especially in horizontal spaces) — this ensures switches and sockets operate ergonomically after installation.
