Edge TM <strong>Tech</strong>nical: General information<br />
Mounting Boxes<br />
Due to the slimline design MK Edge accessories<br />
require deeper back boxes than standard. They<br />
are designed to fit into folded metal boxes that<br />
comply with BS 4662. To ensure products can<br />
be correctly installed, the box must always be<br />
installed flush or sub flush to the surface to a<br />
maximum depth of 6mm.<br />
Fixing Screws<br />
The surface head of Edge fixing screws is<br />
treated and compliment the finish of the<br />
frontplate. To prevent damage to the fixing screw<br />
extreme care is required. It is recommended that<br />
a screwdriver with a maximum blade of 3.5mm<br />
is used.<br />
The recommended depth of boxes for the<br />
different types of wiring accessories are as<br />
follows:<br />
