Socket Box Inserts

With a simple push-fit design, the Socket Box Insert can be installed in seconds – fully lining the socket to provide a fire seal that limits the spread of fire within and through the partition. Fully pre-formed, the inserts do not require trimming or moulding – leaving no mess, smudges, or residue.

The flanged design also ensures that the Socket Box Insert remains in position during a fire – even when fitted within plastic drylining boxes.

In addition, the insulative nature of the product and gasket sealing design ensures the acoustic performance of the wall can be maintained and air leakage through the socket can be minimised.

Offering significant labour and cost savings over plasterboard lining or putty pad solutions, the fire and acoustic Socket Box Inserts are available to suit both single and double sockets.

In the event of a fire the Socket Box Inserts mineral fibre material will prevent the fire passing through the electrical back box aperture, providing effective fire resistance, for integrity (E) and insulation (I) from 30 to 120 minutes (EI30 to EI120) depending upon the wall construction.
