Scroll

Fixed to the structure

One continuous base between studs.

EDS connects two studs with one continuous base for electrical boxes. The positions in the part define socket and switch alignment, bringing precision to wall preparation.

Technical performance

Every detail has a purpose.

01

Fixed to the structure

The base mounts directly to two studs, creating a shared support for the electrical boxes.

02

Defined alignment

Four or six positions in a single part. One continuous reference for arranging each electrical point.

03

Reaction to fire A1

Reaction to fire class A1 is declared for the EDS metal support. See the technical documentation for each model.

04

Steel construction

A galvanised steel body designed to integrate electrical box mounting into the wall structure.

Wall installation

From the frame to the finish.

Metal frame

Tracks receive the vertical studs. The frame spacing determines the support: EDS 400 for 40 cm or EDS 600 for 60 cm.

Stone wool

The insulation fills the space between the studs inside the wall. The open view shows its position within the frame.

Support fixing

The support sits against the studs. Four screws pass through the fixing holes at the ends of the plate.

Electrical boxes

Two boxes enter the support openings: one for the socket and one for the switch. Recesses in the insulation accommodate their depth.

Board and fittings

Plasterboard covers the frame, with two openings. The mechanisms are secured to the boxes, followed by the cover frames and the socket and switch fronts.

Choosing the model

Match the support to the stud spacing.

Use EDS 400 when the studs are installed at 40 cm centres. For studs installed at 60 cm centres, use EDS 600.

Choose the model to match the wall stud spacing and consult the product data before installation.
