Convert a 4 module box to 3 module box

therealabdo · May 24, 2015

Hello guys.

I want to convert a metal 4 module box into a 3 module metal box. Same height same deep but different width.
I want to install a switch which only supports 3 module boxes.

Is there any adapter maybe? any solution?

Not to break the wall

UAE standard

Are you talking about a 4 gang switch plate and you want to make it a 3 gang?

If so then you can buy blanks for it or change it for a new 3 gang cover.

Do you know the brand of switch you have?

As you can see from the attached photos I can't change the boxes. I have to keep to the boxes and adapt my switch to it via someway

The existing wall box (screw to screw) is 120 mm and my switch from screw to screw is 108 mm
So i have 6 mm for both sides.

What do you think? is there a way?
