The Maxi multipurpose housing consists of a cover with hinged lid made from die-cast zinc and a built-in socket made from highly impact resistant thermoplastic and four M20 inlets. Uneven floors can be easily balanced out using four adjustment screws. The multipurpose housing is suitable as floor socket in dry-cleaned rooms and drip water protected according to IP41 in wall installations. It is suitable for all commonly available electric, communication or telephony sockets with 80 mm covers and support ring mounts. The housings can, in whole units, be mounted serially on all sides using rear-mounted joining clips.
