Blue range: electrical installation boxes for hollow walls
The Solera Blue range includes wiring device, junction, distribution and telecom boxes for recessed installation in hollow walls and plasterboard systems. Selection combines the purpose of the point, space behind the board and the fixing method specified for the reference. Tools, box connectors and nylon ties complete the range.
Range options
| Group | Application |
|---|---|
| Wiring device boxes | Switch and socket points. |
| Junction boxes | Connections, branches and home automation versions. |
| Arelos distribution boxes | Modular distribution and sealable-space variants. |
| Metalbox distribution boxes | Distribution with metal frame and door depending on model. |
| ICT telecom enclosures | Network termination, double enclosures and connections. |
| Blue range accessories | Marking, drilling, compatible connectors and fixings. |
Use a wiring device box for a compatible switch or socket and its mounting support. Use a junction box for connections, branches or home automation equipment. Arelos and Metalbox house modular distribution devices, while ICT enclosures accommodate telecom connections and equipment. Wiring device gangs are not the same as DIN distribution modules.
Selection and installation planning
Check the permitted board type and thickness, cavity depth, cut-out, conduit entries and fixing instructions. Nylon ties, claws and mounting supports are reference-specific. Data sheets consulted state halogen-free material and a glow-wire test at 850 °C; these statements alone do not establish fire resistance, acoustic insulation or airtightness of the complete wall.
Check available drawings, instructions and certificates in Solera technical documentation.
For a general housing project list, use the reference configurator by housing type. Then complete each reference selection for the wall and project.
Frequently asked questions — Blue range for hollow walls
How does Blue differ from a masonry flush box?
Blue includes references intended to anchor in hollow walls. A masonry box needs the mounting method specified for its substrate. Select by the declared installation method and check the board and opening requirements.
Do all Blue boxes use nylon ties?
No. For example, 5625GW uses nylon ties, 5625EG metal claws and 5012HGW a perforated mounting support. Wall anchoring and cover closing are separate characteristics.
Does an 850 °C glow-wire test preserve the wall fire rating?
That conclusion cannot be drawn from the test alone. The test relates to the product or material described in its data sheet. Performance of the complete partition requires the documentation of the relevant construction system.
