KAISER UP¹: Fewer Parts per Box
KAISER has refreshed its full range of flush-mounting boxes for solid walls. The new UP¹ family replaces the previous boxes one for one, and the change that matters most on site is simple: fewer parts to order, carry and fit.
SEE IT IN ACTION
The quickest way to get across the new boxes is to watch them go in. KAISER has published short installation videos:
- UP¹ Fix: plaster and foam-free installation with clamping ribs
- KAISER explains: UP¹ Fix and UP¹ ECON® Fix
- KAISER explains: UP¹, the new flush-mounted box
WHAT'S CHANGING
No more tunnel connector. Every box in the new range has floor-level through-wiring, so the tunnel connector (1159-36) is no longer needed.
More box options. There’s now a two-gang junction box in the standard range (1656-05), and the electronics box and two-gang junction box are also available in Fix versions.
Every previous part number and its UP¹ replacement, including accessories, is listed in KAISER’s UP¹ comparison list (PDF).
THREE NAMES, EASY TO READ
- UP¹ is the base KAISER flush-mounting box, installed with plaster
- ECON® means guaranteed air-tight
- Fix means quick fixing with clamping ribs
Combine them and the part name tells you exactly what you’re getting. A UP¹ ECON® Fix box, for example, is air-tight and goes in without plaster.
WHY THE FIX BOXES ARE WORTH A LOOK
According to KAISER, the Fix boxes can be fixed in any wall structure without plaster or foam, saving up to 50% of installation time compared with plastering boxes in. They also offer 25% more installation volume, which helps with conductors, terminals and deeper devices.
Across the UP¹ range you also get:
- 4 x 3 screw domes for flexible device fixing
- Side-neutral combination at the standard 71 mm centre distance
- Open through-wiring, with fully insulated floor-level through-wiring on deep boxes
- A stepless plaster compensation frame for Fix boxes (10 to 35 mm)
- Optional flush-mounting gun foam (1155-95) for extra fixing of ECON® Fix boxes
