willbish Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Is there a standard distance between screw holes for adjacent backboxes? Picture to illustrate, this triple has 25mm between centre of the screw holes. A metal equivalent has nearer 27mm. Is there a standard? Does it depend on what faceplates you chose? I have a long run of backboxes in the study and it would be nice to get them all snug next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal (expensive) switched spur 17mm screw ctr to edge.. plastic fused spur 12mm .. plastic blanking plate 12mm.. Metal double socket 15mm... Plastic double socket 12mm .... metal light switch (cheap) 13mm. I think it indicates you need the get the fittings you are going to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
