        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Solid Mounting Block 38MM Deep | White

        The Clipsal 238-WE is a solid mounting block rated for 38mm depth, designed to protect electrical terminals and wiring in surface-mounted installations. The 238-WE features two 20mm cable entries for corrugated or rigid conduit, a single gang rectangular enclosure, and plastic construction with horizontal and vertical mounting flexibility. It complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements and is certified Mercury free.

        Metal sheds, outdoor structures, and enclosed electrical installations frequently expose terminals and live wiring to mechanical damage, weather ingress, and animal contact. The 238-WE provides strong terminal protection in these high-risk environments, with a solid plastic body that resists water and weathering. Two 20mm conduit entries accommodate standard electrical conduit runs without requiring adapters or additional fittings.

        Licensed electricians and contractors value the 238-WE as a cost-effective enclosure for field installations where equipment must withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The mounting block's 84mm mounting centres align with standard electrical outlet spacing, enabling quick assembly on site with no special tools or modifications. At under six dollars, the solid mounting block fits smaller jobs and renovation budgets while delivering the durability expected from Clipsal's standard range.

        Features

        • Solid mounting block design — protects live terminals and wiring from mechanical contact, weather exposure, and debris inside an enclosed plastic body.
        • 38mm depth — accommodates standard cable entries and outlet mechanisms on both sides, suitable for back-to-back or single-outlet installations.
        • Two 20mm cable entries — accepts either corrugated or rigid conduit without adapters or reducers, leaving two blank ends which can be capped if entries are not used.
        • Horizontal and vertical mounting — the 238-WE mounts in either orientation, providing flexibility on metal sheds, power poles, or structural members where conduit routing varies.
        • 84mm mounting centres — aligns with standard double-outlet spacing on most Australian wall boxes, reducing the need for custom backing plates or offset mounting.
        • Single gang rectangular enclosure — houses one power point outlet or switch assembly, keeping cable and terminal routing separate from the main electrical system.
        • Plastic construction — weather-resistant and corrosion-free, suited to salt-air coastal installations and environments where steel enclosures rust or corrode.
        • EU RoHS Directive compliant — free of toxic heavy metals and mercury, meeting environmental and compliance standards for electrical installation products.
        • End cap accessories included — two blank caps supplied to block off cable entries when full two-entry configuration is not required, keeping the interior sealed.
        • Interior surface mounting — designed for flush installation on metal or timber backing, ideal for temporary installations, rental properties, or sites requiring future relocation.
        • Not suitable for external exposed locations — the 238-WE provides mechanical and terminal protection only; it is not rated weatherproof or IP-rated for direct rain or submersion exposure.

        Where to use

        • Metal sheds and farm buildings — the Clipsal 238-WE protects terminals on corrugated iron structures where mechanical contact and weather exposure are high.
        • Enclosed electrical installations — mounting blocks house temporary or semi-permanent power points in workshops, storage areas, and industrial sites.
        • Conduit run termination — where rigid conduit arrives at an outlet, the 238-WE encases the terminal area and prevents wiring from exposure before entering the final outlet.
        • Outdoor structure wiring — pole-mounted or mounting-block installations on timber posts, metal frames, or non-standard surfaces where flush wall boxes cannot fit.
        • Rental property installations — the solid mounting block offers a cost-effective way to add power points to properties where future removal or relocation is anticipated.
        • Back-to-back outlet locations — the 38mm depth allows terminals on both sides, supporting two separate single-outlet installations on opposite faces of a structural member.
        • Conduit-heavy cable runs — sites using rigid or corrugated conduit throughout can terminate into the 238-WE without intermediate junction boxes or transition blocks.

        The Clipsal 238-WE is not suitable for direct rain exposure, submersion, splash zones, or external exposed locations. It is an interior or protected-installation product only, and should not be used in bathrooms, kitchens with water-splash risk, laundries, or outdoor weatherproof applications without additional protective enclosure.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Solid Mounting Block 38MM Deep (238-WE)

        "Quality product, super fast order picking ready for click and collect first hour of trade." — Kurt

        "Great price, good product." — Matt

        "Used for years, go-to enclosures for weather and mechanical protection." — Brian

        (238-WE)

        A standard wall box mounts inside the wall and houses the outlet completely. The Clipsal 238-WE mounts on the surface of metal, timber, or other backing and provides an enclosed container around terminals. The solid design protects live wiring and terminals from external mechanical contact, weather, and debris. It suits outdoor, metal shed, and pole-mounted installations where flush wall mounting is not possible.

        Yes. The mounting block is supplied with two blank end caps. If you need only one 20mm conduit entry, install one cap on the unused entry and secure it with the supplied cap. This keeps the interior sealed and prevents moisture or debris from entering the unused side.

        The 238-WE provides mechanical and terminal protection but is not weatherproof or IP-rated. It is suitable for protected installations (under cover, inside sheds, under eaves) and will resist normal shed-environment moisture, but is not rated for direct rain exposure, splash zones, or submersion. For outdoor weatherproof applications, use a dedicated IP-rated enclosure.

        The solid mounting block has 84mm mounting centres, which align with standard Australian double-outlet spacing. Single outlets can be installed using one entry, and the unused entry can be capped. For back-to-back installations (one outlet on each side), the 38mm depth accommodates terminals on both faces without interference.

        Yes. The mounting block can be mounted in either horizontal or vertical orientation. The two 20mm cable entries remain accessible regardless of mounting direction, providing flexibility on metal sheds, poles, and structural members where conduit routing may require different angles.

        This enclosure complies with the EU RoHS Directive, is Mercury free, and contains no toxic heavy metals. It meets Schneider Electric's manufacturing standards and is suitable for domestic and light commercial installations under AS/NZS electrical standards when installed by a licensed electrician.
