The knock out outline should be heavily scored with a sharp knife
before tapping out.
The appropriate sealing washers for the conduit in use must be
used to maintain the IP rating. The use of any knock outs apart
from the one(s) at the bottom requires that the lower drain hole(s)
on the back box is opened and the IP rating may well be reduced.
The blind grommets may be used for cable entry at the bottom
20mm hole(s). They must not be used in any other position
(including the rear) or the IP rating may be severely prejudiced.
The blind grommets should be pierced centrally to give an
undersize hole of a similar shape to the cable cross section.
2.2 Fixing Back Box
Drill 2 holes (4 for the double socket TPS201 and switch and socket
TP203) according to the dimensions given on the rear of the back
box. Fix with round head no. 8 woodscrews or equivalent using
wall plugs if necessary. The length of the screw will depend on the
surface being fixed to, for example fixing to roughcast would
require a longer screw than fixing to brickwork.
2.3 Connecting Cables
Allow sufficient excess cable to wire up the socket(s) or switches
but not too much to make it difficult to close the front plate onto
the back box.
