Buster and Punch 2G Plastic Back Box

The Buster and Punch 2G Plastic Back Box is a 2-gang dry-lining back box designed for mounting sockets or light switches in hollow partitions. Made by Buster and Punch in the United Kingdom, this accessory is intended for use in plasterboard and similar walls where a secure, recessed mounting point is required.

Form follows function: the rectangular open-face frame offers a flat, consistent mounting surface while high-contrast adjustable lugs clamp to the rear of the wall panel for a reliable dry-lining fix. The product is also available in 1-gang and 2-gang versions and in steel or plastic construction for broader project compatibility.

Built from white ABS plastic, the box includes grey foam gaskets along the top and bottom edges, brass threaded inserts for faceplate screws, and embossed technical markings such as BS 5733 and CE. The rear panel provides multiple knockouts, including a large central circular option and smaller rectangular entries, for flexible cable routing.

As an electrical accessory it provides a protected housing for wiring and a stable mounting point for standard switches and sockets. The adjustable blue lugs pull forward to clamp the box to the back of the wallboard, while the foam gaskets assist with seal and insulation around the aperture.

Installation considerations: the box accepts standard faceplate fixing screws into the brass inserts; faceplates, switches and wiring are supplied separately. No lamps, drivers or dimmers are relevant to this accessory; installers should follow local wiring regulations and the component’s embossed compliance markings.
